PREFACE. 



In the summer of 1865, the first data for these pages 
was gathered. Since that time the work has been pursued 
with whatever of vigor time and circumstances would 
permit. Here a fact, and there an incident were jotted, 
until all the available sources of information were 
sought out, the old men and women wherever possible 
were visited, and their narratives heard and noted, all 
the old and most of the recent files of county 
newspapers were ransacked. Letters were written to 
many persons, not all of which were answered, and 
the facts of much of the descriptive part of the history 
first obtained or former versions of them verified from 
their replies. 

Valuable aid is hereby acknowledged from the works 
of Sherman Day, I. D. Rupp, Rev. D. H. Focht, J. 
R. Sypher, Hon. Thomas H. Burrowes, Hon. Samuel 
P. Bates and several series of articles which appeared 
in the county papers, one under the nom de plume of 
Philanthus. 

Since September, 1871, holidays and leisure time 
from the routine of daily duty in the school-room have 
been given to the preparation of this volume until at 
the end of eleven months of persistent work, the MS 
is ready to be placed in the hands of the publishers, 
and from them the book to be sent forth to be criti- 
cised and compared with others of a similar kind. 
Whether it will receive the dictum of g-ood, bad or in-

different is a question of moment after having finished 
the most ordinary undertaking; but it becomes one 
of much greater consequence when years have been 
given to its accomplishment, hence it is with no 
little degree of solicitude that the author sends forth 
this first born of his intellect. Go then, history 
of my native Perry, and may others have all the 
pleasure and none of the trials in reading and study- 
ing your pages that I have had in composing and writ- 
ing them. 

No one who has never attempted to collect materials 
for even a short article of by-gone events, can reckon 
the degree of difficulty that attends a labor of this 
kind. Often after the most careful research, from title 
page to finis, of a large volume of old records, you are 
not able to add a half-dozen lines to your manu- 
script. Writing local history is an elegant work for 
leisure, and cannot be hurried beyond that spended 
pace. 

The following special features will doubtless aid the 
reader in making up his estimate of the merits of the 
work : 

ist. The general divisions into sections, each of 
which again subdivided into chapters, is thought to 
be the best and most logical arrangement that could 
have been adopted, because it admits of the treatment 
of the greatest variety of subjects within the compass 
of the book. 

2d. Especial attention is called to the Educational 
Statistical Statement, from the fact that some of it has 
been compiled from data which could not be obtained 
at Harrisburg. 

3d. The Ofifrcial Vote was compiled at great labor 
owing to the difficulty of obtaining the different years.

It is believed to be a very valuable addition to the 
work. In the preparation of both the political and 
war records, Mr. Henry Hopple's scrap-book was found 
to be a valuable auxiliary. 

4th. The Natural History, Flora and Geology should 
attract attention and induce somebody to push furilicy 
investigations into their inviting domains. 

5th. " The War Record" will preserve the names 
of those who so signally "made and preserved us a 
nation," as well as give an account of their doings. 

6th. The Alphabetical Appendix embodies many 
short biographical sketches and incidents which could 
not have been given in any other part of the work. 

Without the hope of large pecuniary reward, but 
rather trusting that it may be the means of doing good, 
this little volume is humbly entrusted to the public b? 
the author.

CHAPTER I. 



INDIANS AND FIRST SETTLERS. 

Cumberland county, east of the Kittatinny Moun- 
tains, was organized in January, 1750. It was then 
beheved that a people of a common nationality 
should locate in the same settlement, and with 
such instruction from the Proprietary their agents 
sent the Irish, Scotch and English settlers to Cum- 
berland, and the Germans to York county. When 
organi7,cd Cumberland had 807 taxable inhabitants. 

The country north of the Blue Hills was valued 
l)y the Indians as their best hunting grounds, and 
when in 1740 and '41 their rights began to be in- 
vaded by German and other squatters who had 
built cabins in Sherman's Valley, and on the Juni- 
ata, their complaints caused the Provincial govern- 
ment to order their immediate removal, and to 
forbid others following their example. After this 
nothing of a decided character was done to prevent 
.settlements until a seat of justice was established 
in the North, or Cumberland Valley. Previously 
there was no county seat nearer than Lancaster, 
Lancaster county. 

Soon after the organization of Cumberland coun- 
ty, in 1750, it was decided that all persons living 
on lands north of the Kittatinny Mountains should 

9 



lO HrSTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

be removed. For this purpose Sicretary Richard 
Peters wis seat by the Lieutenant-Governor, James 
Hamilton, to remove all persons from the country 
north of the Blue Mountain. These people had 
been warned and advised to leave in 174S, and 
now, the 23d of May, 1750, Richard Peters, Mat- 
thew Dill, George Groghan, Benjamin Chambers. 
Conrad Weiser, Thomas Wilson, John Finley and 
James Galbraith, P^sqrs., accompanied by the 
under-sheriff of Cumberland county, went to 
the place where Andrew Lycon, George Cahoon, 
William Galloway and David Hiddleston had set- 
tled, where they found five cabins. Taking all the 
settlers into custody who suffered themselves to 
be taken, they set fire to the log cabins and pro- 
ceeded from thence to Sherman's creek, where 
they found James and Thomas Parker, Owen Mc- 
Keeb, John McCIare, Richard Kirkpatrick, James ~ 
Murray, John Scott, Henry Gass, Simon Girty, 
and John Kilbaugh, whose cabins were also burn- 
ed. These men were bound in recognizance of 
one hundred pounds each to appear and answer for 
their trespass at the next county court to be" held 
at Shippensburg. 

In order to prevent settlements in the future, or 
the return to their former residencesof the person > 
thus driven out, Andrew Monture was licensed to 
settle and reside in any place he might judge con- 
venient. He settled on the north side of Sherman's 
creek, on the Elliott farm, about five miles from 
George Croghan's, who lived on the present Cum- 
berlaiid side of the Kittatinny, near Sterret's Gap,

HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. II 

— Monture's run bears evidence of the location. 
Frederick Starr, a German, with two or three of 
his countrymen, made settlements on Big Juniata, 
about twenty-five miles from the mouth therco", 
and about ten miles north from the Blue Hills, at 
a place much esteemed by the Indians as their 
best hunting grounds Starr's settlement was 
probably on the flat ground not far from the Penn- 
sylvania Railroad bridge across Big Buffalo creel:, 
in Oliver township, and was in all probability too 
close to an Indian encampment of the Six Nations. 

Lycon, Cahoon, Galloway, Hiddleston and White 
probably built their cabins in Pfoutz's Valley, not 
far from Millerstown, which was then the site of 
the other of the only two encampments of Indian- 
within the present limits of Perry county. These 
Indians either willingly quitted their homes, o, 
were forcibly compelled to leave them after the 
Albany treaty in 1754. They afterward settled in 
the country of the Ohio. By the treaty of 1754 al! 
the land extending from the Kittatinny Mountains to 
the Alleghany Mountains was added to Cu iiber- 
land county. There are traces of either a long 
residence at Millerstown, or probably a fierce battle 
which was fought between the resident Delawarc.- 
and the immigrating Shawnese. 

The location of this conflict was no doubt near 
the canal bridge, for they were interred in a wide 
and deep mound west of the house now the resi- 
dence of Mrs. Oliver, and found by the workmen 
who dug the canal. 

These were the only Indian villages on the 



12 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Juniata in Pen y county, owing to the fact that the 
river was too much hemmed in i^y mountains 
between its mouth and Newport, and the distance 
to Millerstown was not great enough for two sets 
of people to hve nearer, who depended upon hunt- 
ing and fishing for a hving. The Newport Indians 
had the celebrated fishery now owned by Robert 
Mitchell, Esq., while those at Millerstown doubt- 
less fished from North's Island, below the rope 
ferry, westward. The hunting grounds of the 
former extended along the Buffalo creek, on the 
west, and into Buck's Valley on the east of the 
Juniata. This is said to have been abundant in 
deer and smaller game. 

The Millerstown Indians had the range of Wild- 
cat, Pfoutz's and Raccoon valleys, which furnished 
rich returns of deer, bear, raccoon, turkey, squir- 
rels, etc. Then the rarest of Juniata shad sported in 
their greatest abundance in its waters, while every 
tributary abounded in the speckled trout and salmon. 

Fishing was followed as a business by the early 
settlers until 1840, during spring and fall, and 
yielded large returns. The public works threw 
dams across the river, and saw-mills were erected 
on the tributary streams, thus preventing the 
return of the fish in the spring of the year to 
spawn, and destroying them by the sawdust. The 
making of the Juniata canal marks the era of the 
downfall of the fisheries. Since then fish-baskets 
have been erected below the Millerstown dam, but 
the Legislature has declared it an illicit business, 
and as such only is it now pursued. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 3 

Safe from all harm, except the net, spear and 
hook, it is hoped the fish will again multiply and 
fill our waters, as in days of yore. 

After the burning of the cabins and binding the 
settlers in recognizance of i^ioo each, settlements 
were made in various parts within the present 
limits of Perry county. The arm of the Provis- 
ional government could remove the settlers and 
burn their cabins, but it could not prevent their 
returning. The Indians threatened summary ven- 
geance if the government did not prevent this. 
Hence, to satisfy all parties and obviate further 
difficulties, the purchase of a large tract of land 
from the Indians was strongly recommended by 
Governor Hamilton. This brought about the 
Albany treaty, to which allusion has been made 
previously, in which it was stipulated that for the 
consideration of ;^400, John and Richard Pcnn 
should have all that tract of land extending from 
the Kittatinny Mountains east of the Alleghany 
Mountains. The Indian chiefs and sachems who 
were not present at the treaty declared the whole 
transaction a fraud, and even those who were 
present afterward contended that they did not un- 
derstand the points of the compass, and if the line 
were run to include the west branch of the Susque- 
hanna they would never agree. This treaty, ac- 
cording to Smith's Laws, vol. xxi,, p. 120, included 
the land where the Shawnee and Ohio Indians 
lived, and the hunting grounds of the Delawares, 
the Nanticokes and the Tuletos. 

On the 3d of February, 1755, the Land Office 
1*

w.ii Opened for the sale of lands in Sherman's 
Valley and on the Juniata river. While the sale 
of these lands was progressing, General Braddock 
was moving toward " Braddock's Field," where 
British pride and contempt for the advice of expe- 
rienced American officers in Indian warfare paid 
for the dissatisfaction of the savages a year ago at 
Albany. This was the longest retreat on record, 
and well evinced the leadership of Washington, 
who so masterly conducted the hauglity red-coats 
from the scene of their leader's death. 

Owing to the fact that Braddock's defeat left the 
whole frontier exposed to the ravages of the cruel 
and merciless savages, very little land was entered 
at the Land Office from the fall of 1755 to 1761. 

All the settlements north of the Kittatinny Moun- 
tains were wasted by the savages and the improve- 
ments destroyed or deserted, and their inhabitants 
fled to Cumberland Valley for protection. The 
settlers of Sherman's Valley, and on the Juniata, suf- 
fered in common with all others similarly exposed. 
In Pfoutz's Valley, we have vague accounts of the 
torturing of white human beings while the relent- 
less savages held their demoniacal revels around 
the fagots which slowly consumed their victims. 
Such a scene is said to have occurred around a hick- 
ory tree at St. Michael's church, more than a cen- 
tury ago. It is probable that the same hickory tree 
which now stands at the corner of the grave-yard 
was the one. 

In Sherman's Valley Indian atrocit}^ reaciied the 
highest degree of cruelty. Here the well-known 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 5 

savage vengeance was wreaked upon man, woman 
and child. 

From Robert Robinson's narrative we obtain 
the following: In the year 1756, a man named 
Woolcomber, living on the south side of Sherman's 
creek, not far from Center, declined to leave his 
home or remove his flimily, on the ground that it 
was the Irish who were killing one another ; "the 
peaceable Indians," said he, " will harm no onj." 

Wnilc at dinner on^ day, a number of Indians 
came into Woolcomber's house. He invited them 
to eat, when an Indian answered that they did not 
come to eat, but for scalps. When Woolcomber's 
son, who was then about fifteen years of ag3, 
heard the Indian's reply, he left the table and walk- 
ed out of the house through a back door. Looking 
back when he was out of the house, he saw an In- 
dian strike his to nihiwk into his father's head. 
ide then ran across Sherman's creek, which was 
njar to tlie house, and as he ran his fears wjre 
confirmed by the screams of his mother, sisters and 
brothers. He came to our (Robinson's) fort and 
gave the alarm, whereupon about forty volunteers 
w^Mit to the scene of the murder and buried the 
dead. The Indians were never punished. Wool- 
comber was a Quaker of the non-resistant kind • 
one who relied upon the promise of the Indian 
orator who assured William Penn, sev^enty-four 
years before, that " the Indians and English will 
live in love as long as the sun and moon shall en- 
dure," and thus sacrificed himself and fanily to his 
fa!th in a savage's promise. 



1 6 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

In July, 1756, which we are induced to believe 
was subsequent to the murder of the Woolcomb- 
ers, the settlers of Sherman's Valley gathered the 
women and children into Robinson's Fort, and went 
out in companies to reap the harvest. 

A party of Indians stealthily approached the 
fort and killed a Miss Miller, daughter of Robert 
Miller, John Simmcson, Mrs. Wilson, wife of James 
Wilson, and the widow Gibson, and carried with 
them as prisoners Hugh Gibson and Betsy Henry 

The reapers, hearing the firing of guns at the fort, 
returned home as hastily as possible, but they 
came too late to meet the savages, who' had made 
good their escape. 

The following is Hugh Gibson's account of his 
captivity : " At the time my mother was killed, I 
was taken prisoner, and suffered much from hun- 
ger and abuse. Many times they beat me severely, 
and once sent me to gather wood to burn myself 
I was adopted into an Indian family, and lived as 
they did, though the living was poor. I was four- 
teen years of age when I was captured. My In- 
dian father's name was Busqueetam. He was lame 
in consequence of a wound received from his knife, 
while skinning a deer ; and being unable to walk, 
he ordered me to drive sticks into the ground, and 
cover them with bark, to make a lodge for him to 
live in ; but the forks not being securely fastened, 
they gave away and the bark fell down upon him 
and liurt him severely, which put him in a great 
rage, and calling for his scalping-knife, he would 
have killed me, 'but my Indian mother took care to 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 7 

convey the knife away and ordered me to conceal 
myself, which I did until his passion wore off, and 
we did very well in the future. Some time after 
this, all the prisoners in the neighborhood were 
collected to be spectators of the death by torture 
of a poor, unhappy woman, a fellow-prisoner, who 
had escaped and been recaptured. They stripped 
her naked, tied her to a post, and pierced her with 
red-hot irons, the flesh sticking to the irons at 
every touch. She screamed in the most pitiful 
manner, and cried for mercy, but the ruthless bar- 
barians were deaf to her agonizing shrieks and 
prayers, and continued their horrid cruelty until 
death came to her relief. 

"-At last a favorable opportunity offered to gain 
my liberty. Busqucetam lost a horse and sent me 
to hunt him. After hunting some time, I came 
home and told him I had discovered his tracks at 
some considerable distance, and that I thought I 
would find him ; that I would take my gun and 
provisions, and would hunt for three or four days, 
and if I could kill a deer or a bear, I w^ould pack 
home the meat on the horse." Thus lulled, the 
suspicions of Gibson's real design were not aroused 
until he had ample time to effect his escape. 

During the year following the murders by the 
Indians which have just been related, so many 
urgent petitions were sent to Governor Morris that 
he sent a message to the Assembly, stating that the 
people to the west of the Susquehanna, distressed 
by the frequent incursions of the enemy, and weak- 
ened by their great losses, are moving into the in- 



IS HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

terior parts of the province, and I am fearful that 
the whole country will be evacuated, if timely and 
vigorous measures are not taken to prevent it. 

The Assembly were at first disposed to regard 
this statement as the mere fancy of an excited 
mind, but the news of the horrible savage slaughter 
coming from so many quarters, they were induced 
to pass a bill for raising forty thousand pounds, 
but carefully incorporated into it a clause taxing 
the proprietary estates. For the reason that the 
bill contained the odious clause relating to the pro- 
prietary, it was vetoed by the Governor. 

The proprietary presented the Governor five thou- 
sand pounds about this time, which n-ere immedi- 
ately applied to the frontier defense of the colony. 

Governor Morris and the Assembly disagreed as 
to the urgency of protecting the defenseless fron- 
tier settlements from, the rav'ages of-the French and 
Indians combined. The matter, with the petitions 
of citizens of Cumberland county, was referred to 
the King of Great Britain. The petitioners were 
heard in London, before a committee of the Privy 
Council, Mr. Paris acting as their agent, with 
Messrs. Yorke and Forrester as his counsel, and 
Messrs. Sharp, Henly and Pratt representing the 
Assembly. 

The committee denounced the conduct of the 
Assembly in relation to the public cefense since 
the year 1742, and characterized their militia bill 
as a flimsy pretext to exempt persons from military 
service, rather than to promote and encourage 
them to take up arms in defense of their homes. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 9 

After considering the report of the special com- 
mittee, the Privy Council were of opinion that the 
Legislature of Pennsylvania, as of every other 
country, was bound to support such goverment and 
its subjects; that the measures heretofore adopted 
by the Assembly for that purpose were improper, 
inadequate and ineffectual ; and that there was 
no cause to hope for other measures, whilst the 
majority of the Assembly consisted of persons 
whose avowed principles were against military ser- 
vice ; who, though not a sixth part of the inhabi- 
tants of the province, were admitted to hold offices 
of trust and profit, and to sit in the Assembly 
without their allegiance being secured by the sanc- 
tion of an oath. 

In February, of 1756, a party of Indians from 
Shamokin came to the Juniata to Hugh Mitchel- 
tree's, who lived near the river. He had gone to Car- 
lisle on business, and got Edward Nicholas to stay 
at his house until he should return. The Indians 
killed Mrs. Mitcheltree and young Nicholas befpre 
they left. 

From Micheltree's this same party of Indians 
proceeded up the river to where the Lukens 
now live. Mrs. William Wilcox and her son had 
crossed the river shortly before, and while she was 
staying for a visit at old Edward Nicholas' house, 
they made their appearance, killed old Mr. Nicho- 
as and his wife, and took Joseph, Thomas and 
Catharine Nicholas, John Wilcox, (the son who ac- 
companied his mother over the river), James Arm- 
strong's wife and two children, prisoners. While 



20 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

committing these depredations in Juniata county, 
an Indian named Cotties wished to be cap- 
tain of this party, but they did not choose him ; 
whereupon he and a boy went to Sherman's creek, 
and killed William Sheridan and his family, thir- 
teen in number. They then went down the creek 
to where three old persons lived, two men and a 
woman, named French, whom they killed. Cotties 
often boasted afterward that he and the boy took 
more scalps than all the others of the party. 

These murders were caused by the French, who 
offered large rewards for the scalps of the English 
which should be brought in by the Indians. 

In theautumnof 1756, James Bell and his brother 
agreed to go into Sherman's Valley to hunt for 
deer, and were to meet at Sterret's Gap, on the 
Kittatinny Mountains. By some means or other, 
they did not meet, and Samuel slept that night in 
a cabin belonging to Mr. Patton, on Sherman's 
creek. The next morning he had not traveled far 
before he spied three Indians, who saw him at the 
same time. They all fired at each other ; he wound- 
ed one of the Indians, but received no damage, ex- 
cept that his clothes were pierced with balls. Sev- 
eral shots were fired from both sides, each shelter- 
ed by the covert of trees. He now stuck his 
tomahawk into the tree behind which he stood, so 
that should they approach he might be prepared. 
The tree was grazed with the Indian's balls, and 
he had thought seriously of making his escape by 
flight, but hesitated, fearing his ability to outrun 
them. After some time the Indians took the 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 21 

wounded one and put him over the fence, one tak- 
ing- one course and the other another, intending to 
make a circuit so that Bell could no longer secure 
himself by the tree. But in trying to reach these 
advantageous positions they had to expose them- 
selves, when he had the good fortune to shoot one 
of them dead. The other ran and took the dead In- 
dian on his back, one leg over each shoulder. By 
this time. Bell's gun was re-loaded ; he then ran 
after the Indian until he came within forty yards 
of him, when he shot through the dead Indian and 
lodged a ball in the living one, who dropped the 
dead man and ran off On his return home from 
the deer hunt, Bell coming past the fence where 
the wounded Indian lay, he dispatched him, but 
did not know that he had killed the third Indian 
until his bones were found years afterward. 

In July 1756, a small party of Indians attacked 
the plantations of Robert Baskins, who lived near 
the present railroad station of the Pennsylvania 
Central, at the mouth of Juniata river. They mur- 
dered Baskins, burnt his house, and carried his wife 
and children away with them as prisoners. An- 
other party belonging to the same band made 
Hugh Carrol and his family prisoners. 

At another time, the Indians murdered a family 
of seven persons on Sherman's creek, and then 
passed over the Kittatinny at Sterret's Gap, wound- 
ed a man, killed a horse, and captured Mrs. Boyle, 
her two sons and a daughter living on Conadogui- 
net creek. 

The following is from Robert Robinson's nar- 



2 2 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

rative : "From 1761 to 1763 there was compara- 
tive quiet and security from the incursions of the 
Indians." 

Tlie number of settlers increased rapidly, and 
much land was secured by location right. 

In June, 1763, the plan was matured for a con- 
cert of action among all the Indians upon every 
British post, but it was the 5th of July, and Sabbath 
day, when they came to the house of William 
White on the Juniata. It was harvest time, and 
the reapers were resting on the floor, when the 
Indians crept up close to the door and shot them 
while in that position. They killed William White 
and all his family that were there, excepting one 
boy, who, when he heard the guns leaped out of 
the window and made his escape. The reapers all 
escaped through the back door excepting William 
Riddle. Some swam the river ; others escaped 
in different directions. Riddle, haidly conscious 
of what he was doing, walked toward the front door. 
where a savage met him and fired his gun, but the 
ball grazing him he was fortunately enabled after- 
ward to escape by flight. Tliis marauding party 
consisted of ten or twelv^e'of the Shawnee tribe. 

The same band of Indians stealthily approached 
the house of Robert Campbell and fired at the per- 
sons in the house. James Campbell was wounded 
in the wrist and taken prisoner, but there is no au- 
thentic account of any person being killed. Im- 
mediately after the Indians had discharged their 
rifles, one of them sprang into the house, and with 
uplifted tomahawk rushed upon a bed on which 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 23 

George Dodds was resting, but fortunately his rifle 
was within reach, which he grasped and fired at 
random, wounding him in tlie groin. The Indians 
retreated and Dodds went up-stairs and escaped 
hastily through an opening in the roof. He went 
immediately to Sherman's Valley and spread the 
alarm. He came to William Dickson's, who sent a 
young man to inform the Elliots, who were then at 
Edward Elliot's farm harvesting. 

This same marauding party of Indians proceeded 
up Tuscarora Valley until they came to the house 
of William A.nderson. The old man was seated at 
the table with the open Bible on his lap, conduct- 
ing the evening worship, while his son and an 
adopted daughter were around him. They shot 
the old man. and tomahawked and scalped his son 
and adopted daughter. Two brothers named 
Christy, and a man named Graham, who lived near 
Mr. Anderson, hearing the firing of guns at his 
place, fled and reached Sherman's Valley about 
midnight. Their report spread new terror and 
alarm among the settlers. In order to save Collins' 
and James Scott's families, who lived farther up the 
valley and had returned to reap their harvests, 
twelve men volunteered to go over into the upper 
end of Tuscarora Valley. 

They went by Bingham's Gap, the outlet of 
Liberty Valley, and reached the valley early on 
Monday morning. When they came to Collins' they 
saw by a broken wheel and their bark spoons where 
they had breakfasted on water gruel, that the In- 
dians had been there, and that there, were thirteen of 



24 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

them. They tracked the savages down to Jas. Scott's, 
where they had killed some fowls. Continuing on, 
they came to Graham's ; there the house was on 
fire and burned down to the joists. Here the men 
were divided into two parties, of which William 
Robinson was the captain of one, and Robert Rob- 
inson, the narrator, led the other. These parties 
made a circuit, but found that the Indians had just 
left. They were joined here by the party of eleven 
or twelve Indians, who came up the valley. Be- 
fore leaving Graham's the Indians killed four hogs, 
dined heartily and at leisure, being satisfied that 
there were none of the settlers west of the Tusca- 
rora Mountains who would pursue them. From 
this place the Indians crossed over the Tuscarora 
into Perry county. The pursuers took the path 
by way of Run Gap, north of Ickesburg. The 
two paths met at Nickolson's farm where the In- 
dians arrived first, and being apprised of their pur- 
suers approaching, they lay in ambush for them. 
They had the first fire, and being twenty-five in 
number and only twelve white men in pursuit, they 
killed five and wounded Robert Robinson. The 
particulars of this engagement are given by Robert 
Robinson, whom we have just mentioned as one of 
the participators, as follows : 

" William Robinson was shot in the abdomen 
with buckshot. John Elliot, a boy of seventeen, 
fired his gun and then ran, loading as best he could 
by pouring powder into it at random and push- 
ing a ball into it with his finger, while he was pur- 
sued by an Indian with uplifted tomahawk, and 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 25 

when he was within a short distance of him ElHot 
suddenly turned around and shot the Indian in the 
breast, who gave a cry of pain, and turning fled. 
ElHot had gone but a short distance when he came 
to WilHam Robinson, who was weltering in his own 
blood upon the ground, and evidently in the ago- 
nies of death. He begged Elliot to carry him off 
so that the Indians would not find and scalp him ; 
but Elliot being a mere boy found it utterly im- 
possible to do so, much less lift him from the 
ground. Finding the willing efforts of his young 
friend fruitless to save him from the savages, Rob- 
inson said, * Take my gun, and if ever in war or 
peace you have an opportunity to shoot an Indian 
zvith it, do so for my sake.' " 

Thomas Robinson stood behind a tree firing and 
loading as rapidly as possible, until the last white 
man had fled. lie had just fired his third shot 
when his position was revealed to the Indians. In 
his hurried attempt to load again, he exposed 
his right arm, which received the balls from the 
guns of three Indians who fired at the same time. 
He then fled u{) a hill with his gun grasped in his 
left hanti, until he came to a large log which he at- 
tempted to leap over by placing his left hand on it; 
but just as he was stooping to make the leap a bullet 
passed through his side. He fell across the log. The 
Indians coming up beat him on the head with the 
buttsof their guns until he was mutilated in the most 
horrible manner possible. John Graham and 
David Miller were found dead near each other, not 
far from the place of attack. Graham's head was 



26 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

resting upon his hands, while the blood streamed 
through his fingers. Charles Elliot and Edward 
McConnel succeeded in escaping from the Indians 
and reached Buffalo creek, but they were so close- 
ly pursued that when they had crossed the creek 
and were scrambling up the bank they were shot 
and fell back into the water where their dead bo- 
dies were found. 

This little band of twelve, whose Spartan bravery 
is scarcely equaled in all the history of Indian and 
border warfare, consisted of three brothers Robin- 
son, William, Robert and Thomas ; two brothers 
Elliot, John and Charles; two brothers Christy, 
William and James ; John Graham, David Miller, 
Edward McConnel, William McAllister and John 
Nickolson. 

After this engagement, the Indians proceeded 
very leisurely to Alexander Logan's, feeling their 
security, no doubt, on account of the inhabitants 
having fled to the lower part of Sherman's Valley. 

A party of forty men, well armed and disciplined, 
started for Tuscarora Valley to bury the dead; but 
when they came to Buffalo creek, and saw them, 
having previously heard the reports of the settlers, 
which doubtless increased the number of the In- 
dians, the captain thought it prudent to return. In 
the meantime the six men who escaped in the en- 
gagement at Nickolson's went to Carlisle, and re- 
ported what they saw and experienced, whereupon 
a party of fifty volunteered to go in quest of the 
savages. They were commanded by High Sheriff 
Dunning and William Lyon. From the best in- 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 27 

formation that could be had of the Indians, it was 
judged that they would visit Logan's to plunder 
and kill the cattle. The men were ambushed and 
in readiness when the Indians appeared, but owing 
to the eagerness in commencing the attack by- 
some of the party, but four or five Indians were 
either killed or mortally wounded, until they made 
their escape into the thick woods, whither pursuit 
was deemed too perilous. Previous to this engage- 
ment, Alexander Logan and his son John, Charles 
Coyle, William Hamilton and Bartholomew Davis, 
hearing of the advance of Sheriff Dunning's party, 
followed the Indians to George McCord's, where 
they found and attacked them in the barn, but the 
attack was such a precipitate affair that none of 
the savages were either killed or wounded, while 
the entire attacking party, excepting Bartholomew 
Davis, paid the penalty with their lives. Davis 
escaped and joined Sheriff Dunning's party, and 
was engaged with them at Logan's. In the en- 
gagement at Logan's there was but one white man 
wounded. The soldiers brought with them what 
cattle they could collect, but great numbers were 
killed, and many of the horses were taken away by 
the Indians. 

The Indians set fire to the houses and barns, de- 
stroyed the growing corn, and burnt the grain in 
the shock, and the hay in the stacks, so that the 
whole valley seemed to be one general blaze of 
conflagration as far as they went. The distress of 
the settlers of Sherman's and Tuscarora valleys can 
better be imagined than described. They were 



28 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

reduced from a plentiful and independent people 
to real objects of charity and commiseration within 
the short space of one week. Carlisle was the 
only barrier between the frontier settlers and the 
merciless savages, and it so crowded that every 
stable and shelter in the town was filled to its ut- 
most capacity, and on either side of the Susque- 
hanna the woods were the only shelter of many 
other refugee families, who had fled thither with 
their cattle, and whatever of their effects could be 
hastily collected and carried with them. 

On the 25th of July, there were in Shippensburg 
1,384 refugees from the settlements north of the 
Kittatinny, who were obliged to sleep in barns, sheds 
and temporary shelters. 

To relieve these sufferers, the Episcopal, Christ's 
and St. Peter's churches, of Philadelphia, collected 
an amount of money equal to $2,942.89 in the cur- 
rency of the present time, which was expended in 
supplying flour, rice and medicine for the immedi- 
ate relief of the sufferers. To enable those who 
chose to return to their homes, two chests of arms, 
half a barrel of powder, four hundred pounds of 
swan shot, and one thousand flints, were purchased. 
These were to be sold at greatly reduced prices to 
such persons as would use them for their own 
defense. 

Induced by an offer which placed protection in 
their own hands, the settlers returned to their for- 
mer homes, where they lived in constant dread of 
the wily foe until Bouquet occupied Fort Duquesne, 
on the 24th of November, 1764. At this time the 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 29 

French and their savafj^e alh'es were compelled to 
sue for the peace, which placed the frontier settlers 
of Perry and Juniata counties in conscious security 
from Indians ever afterward. 

Rev. David Brainerd, in speaking of the Shaw- 
nese who lived on Duncan's Island, stigmatizes 
them as " drunken, vicious and profane." They 
journeyed from the south, say their traditions, and 
had no doubt inherited the vices of the various 
tribes with whom they contended in their wander- 
ing's northward, and hence, were ever ready to 
carry out the murderous designs of the French. 

We have just learned what a scourge these In- 
dians were to the frontier settlers of our own and 
neighboring counties, but we have scarce given in 
these pages a tithe of the suffering they caused, for 
they prowled about, night and day, seeking the 
unsuspecting moment to strike a fatal blow. 

The record made by the sons of Perry during 
the Revolutionary struggle will be found in chrono- 
losfical order, under " The War Record." It is wor- 
thy of a people who had so recently passed the trials 
of which these pages bear a record. 

Settlers occupied the lands from time to time in 
Pfoutz's Valley, along the Juniata, and in Sherman's 
Valley. 

The first land located by order from the Land 
Office, in Pfoutz's Valley, was by John Pfoutz, in 
1755. He was the first considerable land owner, 
by any right, hence had the honor of giving his 
name to the valley. This' valley was principally a 
German settlement. The Germans either entered 



30 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

the lands themselves, at the Land Office, or bought 
them second-hand from the pioneer Scotch-Irish 
who moved farther west. 

Pfoutz's Valley is still characteristically a Ger- 
man settlement, though there are many persons 
unable to converse in any but the English language. 
For our fertile soil the German is slowly exchang- 
ing his language ; his children receive an English 
education, in the free schools, without dissent. In 
fact, many of our best scholars were the children 
of German parents. 

Pfoutz's Valley has a Lutheran, a Reformed and 
a Methodist church, with public worship frequently 
held in the school-houses. 

Although the soil of Perry county was first set- 
tled by English-speaking people, the farming pop- 
ulation is now largely composed of German origin. 

The first settlement of Wildcat Valley, known as 
the settlements of the Juniata, were on the place 
now owned by James Patterson, by Joshua North, 
Esq., who owned a tannery where the stone 
farm-house now stands. Martin Derr settled the 
property on which Capt. Joseph Ulsh now resides. 
The Jacob Leas property was located and improved 
by William North. John Shuman first improved, 
though David Miller was the patentee of the land, 
the Shuman property. He built the mill which 
is still known as " Shuman's mill." Conrad Steiger 
first settled and improved the property now owned 
by Henry Martin. Davy Crockett settled the farm 
recently owned by John Marshall. Daniel Baker 
made the improvement rights on the farms owned 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 31 

by Henry Nipple and Benjamin Long. John 
Sweezy settled the David Sarvcr farm. John Betz 
settled the property owned by Reuben Grubb. 

Old Mr, Ellmaker of the third generation, back 
from Enos and Reuben, who emigrated to Iowa 
when young men, and have since removed to the 
Willamette Valley, Oregon, was the pioneer settler 
of the properties now owned by David Buchanan, 
John Grubb and Wesley M. Cauffman. Charles 
Wright, Sen., cleared the farm out of the woods 
which is now owned by George Wright. The 
places mentioned were the oldest settled portions 
of the valley, and do not date back further than 
the close of the Revolutionary War, when many 
emigrants from the eastern portion of the State re- 
moved west of the Blue Mountains. There are 
three churches in the valley, Christ's Lutheran, in 
Liverpool township, built in 1844; Liberty Hall 
church, and Wright's church, in Greenwood twp. 

Lewis's Forge was east of Millerstown, on Cocal- 
amus creek, in Pfoutz's Valley, and from all we 
can learn was operated as early as 1 800. The old 
forge hammer, broken through the eye, still remains 
in the dried-up race, while the stone abutment 
breastwork of the dam, on the east side of the 
creek, may still be seen. During our boyhood 
days the cabins were occupied by negroes. 

The "old forge" with the legend variously told 
(the following is the substance of the various ver- 
sions) of the Devil's Hole, about a mile distant, gave 
our daily cow-hunts an interest, and ofttimes a 
dread that will not soon be for";otten. 



32 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

The legend of Forge Hill has sufficient local in- 
terest to claim the following recital : Before Lewis's 
forge was in operation, it is related that the devil 
contracted with three men to prepare him an under- 
ground dwelling, and secure him a black 
sheep, without a white spot on it, until he should 
come to examine them. A specified time was 
agreed upon for the completion of this subterranean 
abode, for which, and the sheep, the builders were 
to receive a half-bushel of silver dollars. The work 
was completed, the sheep secured, and the laborers 
awaited the coming of his satanic majesty. Pre- 
cisely at the appointed time the devil appeared in 
the air, showing his cloven foot, to the no little dis- 
comfit of the builders, as he alighted at the open 
door of his intended abode. He proceeded to an 
examination of the building which was constructed 
underground of logs, and covered with earth, so 
that it might appear at the surface nothing more 
than an elevation of the summit of a hill, requiring 
a sesame to open it. The abode was pronounced 
satisfactory ; when the sheep was produced with the 
greatest confidence that it was black enough to sat- 
isfy the requirements. Imagine their utter astonish- 
ment when the devil no sooner saw the sheep than 
he demanded one of them, declaring that it was not 
without a white spot, as agreed upon, and in order 
to convince the contractors that such was the case 
he lifted it from its feet and turned it upon its back, 
when, lo, the white spot was there. This so alarm- 
ed one of the men, who was a Dutchman, that he 
♦ began to cry out : " Heilig Yasu ! Heilig Yasu !" 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 33 

whereupon his insulted devilship departed, taking 
with him the half bushel of money, leaving the 
chagrined builders in a bewildered condition, one 
of whom it is said remained insane during the rest 
of his life. 

This is briefly the legend which has been handtd 
down from parents to children, and firmly believed. 
It probably had no better foundation in fact than 
that this so-called DroiVs Hole was a robbers' cave. 

As a sequel to the Indian history of this chapter, 
wc present the following sketch : 

Simon Girty (spelled Girtee in the old records) 
was born and raised in the Cumberland Valley, 
Pennsylvania. His parents were Swiss Germans, 
and were much addicted to the use of strong drink 
and gambling, both of which became characteristics 
of Simon. It was, doubtless, owing to the fact that 
Simon Girty's parents taught him by example these 
bad habits, and left him no legacy but one of dis- 
honor, that he forsook the settlements to serve with 
young Simon Kenton on the frontiers. He joined 
the Virginia militia, and seemed anxious to distin- 
guish himself as a soldier. He was disappointed 
in being promoted, and instead, through the influ- 
ence of his colonel, publicly disgraced. He fled 
from the settlements and took up his abode along 
with a number of others on Sherman's creek, but 
here he was again followed by the whites, who 
burnt his cabin in 1750, and turned him loose to 
roam the wilds as an outcast under the bans of the 
law. He took up his abode with the Wyandotte 
Indians, with whom he lived a foe to the whites, 



34 HISTORY. OF PERRY COUNTY. 

more cruel and relentless than his adopted people. 
He made frequent incursions from the Wyan- 
dotte settlement to the Susquehanna. He is said 
to have slept during his stay at Halffall Hills in a 
cave next the river in the end of the mountain. 
He came here for the purpose of watching the 
whites at Fort Halifax from the top of this moun- 
tain. The narrow channel in the river at the end 
of Halffall Hills was named Girty's Notch. The 
traveler is reminded of his approach to the notch 
as he descends the river by the sign " Girty's 
Notch Hotel." 

The subsequent career of this notorious man is 
rather uncertain. It is' probable that he was killed 
by Col. Clayton, in Kentucky. It is related that 
Girty stole Clayton's wife from his home while the 
latter was with Forbes and Bouquet in the expedi- 
tion against Fort Duquesne in 1757 and '58. 
Clayton returned home after the war to find that 
his wife had been stolen by an Indian, which he di- 
vined to be Girty, whereupon he pursued the rene- 
gade with a savage thirst for revenge, and finally 
met the despoiler of his household on " the dark 
and bloody soil of Kentucky," where, in a desperate 
contest, Girty was slain. 

Raccoon Valley, Rye township, Cumberland 
county, was settled by the Blacks, Nobles and 
Robinsons, in the order named, from the Juniata. 

In this selection certain distinctions gave prece- 
dence of location. 

Their pastor, Rev. Wm. B. Linn, having the 
preference, chose his portion near Robinson's 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 35 

Fort; the father of the Irvin famiHes, in Saville 
township, chose their old mansion property ; he 
was joined by Elhot's on the west, and he in turn 
by a younger man, until we reach the Robinson, 
Noble and Black farms in Raccoon Valley, extend- 
ing to the Juniata river. This chain of settlements 
extended more than twenty miles, and included 
some of the best and most highly respected 
citizens of the county. It is historic for its ar- 
rangement of families in chronological order, as 
well as the noble record made during every war in 
which its own or the general welfare was en- 
dangered. 



36 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 



CHAPTER II. 



FORMATION OF PERRY COUNTY, 

Cumberland county was formed out of Lancas- 
ter county in 1750, four years previous to the 
Albany purchase, by which was added to the com- 
monwealth all the lands west of the Kittatinny and 
east of the Alleghany Mountains. 

The earliest division of the territory now in- 
cluded in Perry county into townships was into 
Greenwood, which included the land between the 
Juniata and Susquehanna rivers. This township 
doubtless included at one time a vast area in Mif- 
flin, Snyder and Union counties, being the mother 
of Liverpool, Buffalo, Howe and Watts, as now de- 
fined in Perry county. 

Rye township extended from the Kittatinny I\Ioun- 
tains to the Tuscarora Hills, including its present 
territory, Penn, Wheatfield, Miller, Carroll, Center, 
Juniata, Oliver and Tuscarora townships. The line 
dividing Rye and Tyrone townships extended di- 
rect from the Blue Mountains, passing about two 
miles west of Bloomficld to the Tuscarora Hills. 

Next to Rye, west of the Juniata, was Tyrone, 
known as " the everlasting State of Tyrone." It 
included parts of Carroll and Center, all of Spring, 
Tyrone and Saville. Tyrone was separated from

HISTORY Ol" PERRY COUNTY. 37 

Toboyne by a straight line from the Bkie Moun- 
tains through Center, in Madison township, to the 
Conecocheaque Hills. 

Toboyne township was farthest west in the 
county, and included within itself Jackson and 
Madison townships. This township dates its for- 
mation prior to the Revolution. 

This was the earliest division of the territory 
of Perry county into townships. When it was 
formed into a new county there were seven town- 
ships. Of the new townships, Juniata included 
that part of Rye north and west of the Mahonoy 
Hills, Saville, that part of Tyrone west of the Lime- 
stone Ridge, and Buffalo, that part of Greenwood 
south of the Buffalo Hills. 

•Villages were formed at Duncannon.Landisburg, 
Millerstown, Liverpool and New Buffalo, before or 
about 1800. These were the earliest towns of the 
county. 

Millerstown was laid out by David Miller as 
early as 1780, and for a long time seemed destined 
to become the largest town in the county. It was 
written for a long time Millers Toivn. Fewer un- 
employed men have lived in Millerstown, in propor- 
tion to the population, than any town in the county. 
Millerstown contains seven stores, a foundry, a large 
tannery, two churches — Presbyterian and Metho- 
dist — and a Normal school. In healthfulness of 
location, convenience of access, and the natural 
beauty of surroundings, it is unsurpassed anywhere 
along the Juniata. 

Liverpool was laid out by John Huggins in 1808, 
2* 



38 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

and soon became the most important trading point 
in the eastern portion of the county. Liverpool 
merchants dealt largely in liquors, grain, plaster, 
dry goods and groceries. The society was made 
up of almost every hue, from the smooth and cau- 
tious to a sprinkling of roughs, who would extort 
the laugh of commendation and social entertain- 
ment from the most grave and sedate. 

Landisburg was originally laid out by John Lan- 
dis, previous to 1800, who disposed of some por- 
tions of the town by lottery, reserving the annual 
ground rent. It is said "the quit-rents of Landis- 
burg have had as many owners as Joseph's coat 
had colors." 

The courts were held here until the location ^f 
the county-seat at Bloomfield, and the completion of 
the public buildings there in 1827. 

The first Court of Common Pleas in Perry 
county was held in Landisburg on the 4th of De- 
cember, 1820. Hon. John Reed, formerly of West- 
moreland county, was President Judge, and Wil- 
liam Anderson and Jeremiah Madden, Esqrs., As- 
sociate Judges. Daniel Stambaugh was the High 
Sheriff 

The following persons were the first grand 
jurors: William English, Henry Beslin, William 
Brown, Jacob Weibley and Joshua Jones, Juniata 
township ; Andrew Lynn, Peter Moses, Philip Fus- 
selman, Christian Simons, Henry Hippie, Thomas 
Kennedy and John Eaton, Tyrone township; Con- 
rad Rice, John Milligan, Thomas Milligan, Moses 
Oatley, Jacob Burd and Jacob Kiser, Saville town-

ship; William Albigost, Greemvood township; 
William Porter, Buffalo township; Samuel Willis, 
Rye township; Nickolas Burd, John Kogan and 
Daniel Matzer, Toboyne township. 

The list of constables, at this time, were George 
Fetterman, Buffalo township; John O'Brian, Green- 
wood; Thomas Martin. Juniata ; Daniel McAllister, 
Rye ; Mathias Moyer, Saville ; John Cree, Tyrone ; 
Abraham Kistler, Tyrone ; James McKim, Toboyne. 
Robert Mitchell, Thomas Adams and Jacob 
Huggins were the first County Commissioners. 
William B. Mitchell was the first Prothonotary. 
The old court-house in Landisburg stood until 
1 84 1. It was a log building, erecting for a church, 
when it was taken and finished for a court-house, 
and in it Robert Gibson, Esq., still dispenses justice 
with more ability than is usually exhibited in that 
office. 

Landisburg is the starting point of Rice's stage 
lines, which carry news to and from Newport from 
all points on the route. 

Duncannon, Petersburg, until 1865, was first 
settled by a Mr. Miller, who took up ten acres, in 
which it was included. His house was situated on 
the point between the Susquehanna river and Little 
Juniata creek. 

The oldest store in the town was kept by a Mr. 
Vanfossen, then there were only four houses 
in the place. 

The settlers that took up land and came to 
Petersburg after Mr. Miller were Myers, Young, 
Fessler, Baty and the widow Armstrong. Philip 



40 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Sweishler, a German, kept the first hotel. At this 
time the post-office was kept by Jacob Keiser at 
Clark's Ferry in the stone store-house. 

A Mr. Keaseberry was the first postmaster after 
the office was moved to Petersburg. 

The tories mustered their troops during the Revo- 
lutionary War on Young's Hill. 

The oldest church in Petersburg was the Metho- 
dist church, which was dedicated in 1838. The 
first preaching in the town by this denomination 
was in a Mr. Brooks' dwelling house in 18 12. 

The Presbyterian congregation of the Juniata 
church, on the hill west of the junction, included 
the members in Petersburg, with many who lived 
on the opposite side of the river in Watts town- 
ship. Rev. Joseph Brady, whose remains rest in 
the grave-yard belonging to the church, was the 
pastor at this time (1838). 

The grave-yard on the property owned by Mr 
Charles Godshall is the oldest Methodist burial 
ground in the county. The oldest house in the 
neighborhood of Duncannon was near the position 
of Jones' mill The brick house there now was 
built in 1800. 

Along Sherman's creek, near the river, are the 
Duncannon Iron Works, owned by a company 
which has been in the business for many years in 
that place. These works consist of a rolling mill 
and nail factory ; the latter is capable of turning 
out from 800 to 1,000 kegs, loolijs each, per week. 
There is an extensive anthracite furnace in opera- 
tion closer to the river. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 4I 

The extensive flour and lumber mills, recently 
owned by Major Griffith Jones, have passed into 
other hands. 

A company has purchased an extensive tract 
of land, and, by means of a building association, 
is fast creating a new western addition to the old 
town. 

Duncannon public schools have always been 
among the best in the county. 

Newport was laid out as a village of Juniata 
township in 1814, by Daniel Reider. It was called 
Reiderville until the formation of Perry county in 
1820, when sanguine hopes were entertained that it 
would be the county seat; hence its name was 
changed to New Port, which has since been con- 
veniently modified to Newport. 

Its growth was very tardy until the canal was 
made, since which it steadily improved, until about 
six years ago, since which it has made good its 
claims to be the largest town in the county. 

It has a deposit bank, a printing office, from 
which issue the weekly editions of the Nczvport 
Nezvs, two steam tanneries, one of which is the 
most extensive in the county, a steam planmg 
mill, marble-yard, three commission warehousi^, a 
boat-yard, and an anthracite furnace just ready to 
be put in operation. Three churches supply the 
various congregations. Two of these are large 
brick edifices on the modern plan, owned by the 
Methodist and Reformed congregations, while the 
third is a frame building likely soon to be super- 
seded by several others, since it is used by the Lu- 



42 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

therans and Presbyterians, and others, on the union 
principle. 

A tract of land was purchased and laid out in 
lots by Mr. J. B. Habecker. This part of the town 
attracts considerable business now. These lots 
will doubtless soon be improved through the ef- 
forts of a building association recently organized. 

Newport has tasteful and commodious hotels, 
kept by gentlemanly and intelligent proprietors. 
But it cannot truthfully be avoided that her educa- 
tional interest is below par. This is not owing to 
the want of a large and commodious school build- 
ing, for that was erected in 1866. on a olan which 
compelled the admiration of all her sister boroughs, 
but a lack of fostering interest by her entire com- 
munity has caused the failure, in part, of every edu- 
cational project which contemplated permanency. 

In 1840 Newport was next to Liverpool in the 
number of its population. It then had 423, and 
Liverpool had 454 inhabitants. 

New Buffalo was laid out as a village of Buffalo 
township. Perry county, in 1800, by Jacob Baugli- 
man. It is situated on the west bank of the Sus- 
quehanna river, nineteen miles above Harrisburg. 

It has been a town of steady growth, and con- 
tained in 1840 between thirty and forty dwelling 
houses and 200 inhabitants. The location is 
pleasant, surrounded on either side by charming 
natural scenery. 

The present county seat was fixed upon by the 
fourth set of "disinterested persons" provided for 
in the act of separation, and named Bloomfield, on 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 43 

account of that being the title given to the tract of 
land in the patent. The set of commissioners who 
concluded this important work, were Messrs. Lay- 
cock, Sheets, Pearce and Jenks. Bloomfield was 
auspiciously appropriate for the new town from 
the fact that its original plot was marked out in a 
clover field when in full bloom in the month of 
June, 1822. It is healthfully located in the narrow, 
fertile and beautiful Mahonoy Valley, twenty-six 
miles from Harrisburg, and five from the Central 
railroad. 

Large brick church edifices have been erected 
by the Reformed, Lutheran, Methodist and Pres- 
byterian congregations. 

A brick school-house, sufficiently large to ac- 
commodate all the pupils, has been erected recently. 
Bloomfield Academy, more fully noticed under Ed- 
ucational History, continues its good work at this 
place. It is now owned by William Grier, Esq. 

The manufactories of the place are a steam tan- 
nery and a foundry. 

The Perry Fonrster, for August, 1826, contains 
the following description of the place : " New 
Bloomfield has eighteen buildings besides from 
twelve to fifteen shops and stables." The offices 
and public documents of the county were removed 
to Bloomfield on the 12th and 13th of March, 1827. 

The Forrester, in 1829, gives the population of 
Bloomfield at 220, the number of dwellings, twenty- 
nine, and the shops and offices, twenty-one. 

The court-house, erected in 1824-5, was remod- 
eled in 1 867-8. It is now well adapted for the 



44 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

purpose. A large clock has been placed in its cu- 
pola by the citizens of Bloomfield, aided by the 
county commissioners. 

There are four printing offices belonging to as 
many weekly newspapers. 

The President Judge of the Ninth Judicial Dis- 
trict resides here. 

The people are social and intelligent. 

Marysville was laid out by Theophilus Fenn, the 
proprietor of the land on which it is built, as a vil- 
lage of Rye township, and up to April 12, 1866, 
was never incorporated, when it was incorporated as 
Haley, which was the name given to the post-office 
for a year or more. Since its incorporation, Marys- 
ville has improved so rapidly that it now ranks 
third in the county in number of population. 

The round-house of the Northern Central railroad 
is located here, and added to this there is an exten- 
sive " shifting-yard." 

Two railroad bridges cross the Susquehanna at 
the eastern and western termini of the town. The 
eastern bridge is on the, line of the Pennsylvania 
Central, and the western on that of the Northern 
Central. There are two railroad stopping-places, 
one a regular depot, and the other merely a stopping- 
place. The depot is called Marysville, and is at the 
extreme west of the town, where the railroads cross 
each other. 

A block-house was built at the end of the Central 
railroad bridge to guard it from the attacks of rebel 
invaders during the late war. 

Marysville has a fine location, which, added to its 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 45 

proximity to Harrisburg, and the other probabih'ties 
of its rapid improvement, will cause it to be, in the 
extent and variety of its business, and the number 
of its inhabitants, the largest town in the county, in 
1880. Marysville public schools are kept in opera- 
tion from six to seven months of the year. 

Loysville, formerly called Andersonville, was 
laid out in 1840, by Michael Loy. The commo- 
dious Academy building, north of the town, which 
was erected by Mr. John Tressler, continued to be 
liberally patronized as a higher institution of learn- 
ing, until the 8th of May, 1865, when it was select- 
ed for a Soldiers' Orphan School. After it had been 
in operation four or five J'c-ars as an orphan school 
for the children of deceased soldiers, the Tressler 
heirs sold the building to the Lutheran Church, 
since which it has been continued as Loysville 
Orphan Home, receiving as many soldiers' orphans 
as could be accommodated without crowding out 
the church orphans. There were 83 in this Home 
on the 31st of May, 1871. 

Loysville has a large brick church, owned by the 
Reformed and Lutheran denominations. About 
one-half mile south-east of Loysville, is the farm and 
houses appropriated for the use of the poor of the 
county. The old buildings, two or three in number, 
have been superseded by the most expensive edifice 
in the county, estimated to cost, when entirely fin- 
ished, upward of $30,000. 

Andersonburg is a post-village of Madison town- 
ship, and was so named on account of the land 
lormerly belonging to Judge Anderson. 



46 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

About three-fourths of a mile to the north-east 
are the grounds and buildings of the justly-cele- 
brated Andersonburg Soldiers' Orphan School. 
The extent of ground was reported on the 31st of 
May, iS/i.to be twenty-four acres, and the num- 
ber of pupils enrolled, 133. 

Hon. Martin Motzer has been the principal since 
the organization of the school, and so satisfactory 
has been the treatment of the wards entrusted to 
his care, that complaint against the school has 
never been heard abroad. 

Blain. — William Douglass built the mill from 
which the name of the post-office (Douglass' Mill) 
was obtained. He soon after built the stone house 
occupied at the present (1872) by Mr. Jeremiah 
Hench. This stone house and an old log house 
which was torn down about six years ago, constitu- 
ted what was known as Multicaulisville. 

The original part of Blain was laid out on land 
granted by warrant in 1765, to James Blain. That 
part of the village west of Main street, was laid out 
on land originally granted by warrant, in 1762,10 
Abraham Mitchell, and the north part was warrant- 
ed to James Morrison, in 1766. 

In the spring of 1846 Francis W. Woods sold 
three acres of land to Dr. William Hays, which he 
divided into twelve lots and sold them out to dif- 
ferent parties. John Seager and William Shively 
erected the first house in the fall of 1846. 

The first post-office was kept by William Doug- 
lass. Capt. David Moreland and Anthony Black 
succeeded. In 1840 Anthony Black got the name 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 47 

of the post-office changed to Multicaulisville, to 
commemorate his great speculation in the morns 
7nulticaulis or Itahan mulberry trees, which he was 
engaged in selling at ten cents each. 

Soon after Blain was laid out in 1 846, James and 
Francis W. Woods got the name of the post-office 
changed from Multicaulisville to Blain, and from 
the post-office the village was named. 

The site of Blain is naturally the prettiest in the 
county. This fact seems to be recognized, for we 
find improvements here not found in any other 
town in the county. It is the only town into which 
and along whose streets water is conveyed in 
pipes. The buildings are mostly new, elegantly 
and substantially built and neatly painted. 

It has a select school in charge of Prof Gard. C. 
Palm, and one of the finest churches in the county. 
This church belongs to the Lutherans and Presby- 
terians, and was built to take the place of a venera- 
ble old building erected in 18 16. The old folks of 
these congregations were very loath to exchange 
the old church even for such an elegant new one, 
from the fact that it seemed to link them to the 
past. The shingles that covered it were carried 
across the Conecocheaque Mountain on the backs 
of pack-horses. Their fathers and mothers reared 
this temple, and they did not like to see it de- 
stroyed. 

New Germantown, a post-town of Toboyne 
township, was laid out by Solomon Sheibley, and 
named to commemorate Germantown, near Phila- 
delphia. It is twenty-three and a quarter miles 



48 HISTORY OF pp:rry county. 

from Bloomfield, and is the western terminus of 
Rice's stage route in the county. It contains 
several stores and churches, a tannery and a 
school-house, in which a graded school is kept 
open during the free school term. 

Ickesburg and Eschol are the post-villages of 
Saville township. The former is the older, and is 
the starting-point of Mr. Samuel Rice's stage, 
which makes a round trip on alternate days from 
Millerstown and Newport carrying the mail to and 
from Donnally's, Eschol, Milford and Markelville. 

Eschol was formerly known as " Shuman's." It 
was early settled by Mr. Andrew Shuman, who 
gave the land on which St. Andrew's Lutheran 
Church is situated. 

Donnally's mills is a post-village of a half-dozen 
houses in Tuscarora township. Geo. W. Lobaugh, 
Esq., keeps a store and a post-office at this place, 
and metes out justice to deserving offenders. 

Milford and Markelville are post villages of Ju- 
niata township. Each contains a store in which the 
post-office is kept. 

The former was called Jonestown after its earliest 
settler and first postmaster, Joseph Jones, Esq. 
Markelville was formerly known as Bosserman's 
Mills until Mr. George Markel so changed the 
place by his enterprise and thrift that it was named 
after him.

tion of an Act erecting part of Cumberland county

SECTION II.— THE WAR RECORD. 



CHAPTER I. 

REVOLUTIONARY WAR, 1 775-83- 

Englehart Wormley, of Tyrone township, died 
on the 28th of August, 1827. He participated in 
the disastrous battle on Long Island, and the sub- 
sequent engagements which followed. He was 
never injured during his term of service. 

Andrew Burd, of Greenwood township, entered 
the army as a fifer-boy when but fourteen years old and 
served the faithful seven, being discharged when 
he had just attained his majority. 

Benjamin Bonsall, Sen., of Greenwood town- 
ship, died in 1845, aged 89 years. He served in 
the militia during the "freezing and starving" 
winter at Valley Forge, 

Thomas Brown, of Tyrone township, was a 
Revolutionary soldier, and so thoroughly imbued 
with love of his country that he made provision in 
his will for the reading of the Declaration of In- 
dependence over his open grave, after which a 
minister was to pray for him and his beloved 
country. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 55 

Edward Donnelly, of Buckwheat Valley, Tus- 
carora township, served in the mihtia. 

Alexander Gaily, of Penn township, died in 
Cove Valley on the 13th of November, 1842, aged 
102 years. He served in the Revolutionary army. 

Frederick Watt, a Revolutionist, was at the 
massacre of Wyoming, where he served under 
Colonel Zebulon Butler, who "boldly met and 
bravely fought the combined British, Tory and 
Indian force of thrice his number." In this 
engagement he was wounded in the mouth. 

He settled in Watt's Valley, Miller township, to 
which he gave his name, and there resided until 
his death. 

Andrew Lynch, of Tuscarora township, served 
in the Revolutionary army, but of what date or 
length of term, whether volunteer or militia, we 
could not learn. 

Benjamin Essick, of Liverpool township, died 
at the advanced age of 93. He served in the 
militia. 

David Focht, was a Revolutionary soldier, and 
one of the first settlers of western Perry county. 
He lived in Jackson township. 

William Heim, the father of Rev. John William 
Heim, removed from Mahanoy township, North- 
umberland county, to Jackson township. Perry 
county, in 181 5, where he died on the 2d of March, 
1856. He was the last surviving hero of the 
Revolution living in the county. He died aged 
95, and his funeral was attended by one hundred 
and fifty riders on horseback. Mr. Heim is said 



56 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

to have been able to relate many incidents of the 
contests in which he was engaged, but they were 
never written, and have now passed into that 
history which no living recollection can recall. 
He asked the National Government to reward his 
services, but being unable to furnish other evidence 
than the existence of his name on the roll of his 
company, he never received the pension to which 
he was justly entitled. The State recognized his 
services by a small yearly annuity. 

There were from Watts township, then Green- 
wood, in the Revolutionary army, John Buchanan, 
whose descendants are now living in the townships 
of Greenwood and Liverpool ; Robert Moody, Mr, 
Mountz, Mr. Philips, William Rodgers and William 
Philips. These men were all distinguished for 
their patriotism, but of their achievements in the 
sanguinary struggle which gave us a nation, no 
detailed account can be gathered. 

William Patterson served in the patriot army 
one year. He lived in that part of Duncannon 
known as Petersburg. It was then scarcely a vil- 
lage of Rye township. Mr. Patterson remembered 
the tories mustering on Young's Hill. 

Peter Kipp served seven years as a soldier in 
the American army. He returned home after 
Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown, and lived 
for many years afterward in Buffalo township. 

George Albright, one of the first settlers of 
Buck's Valley, shouldered his musket at the break- 
ing out of the war, and went forth to serve his 
country as a soldier, while his wife, with a "ervant 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 57 

girl and several small boys, did the farming. Mrs, 
Albright and her servant girl took her grain to the 
banks of the Susquehanna on horseback, where 
they hitched their horses, and placing it in a canoe, 
pushed down the river to the nearest mill, at Dau- 
phin. Here they waited until the grain was ground 
into flour,*which was then placed in the canoe, and 
pushed back, up the stream, by the two women, 
landed and placed on the backs of their horses, 
and thus taken home. 

Mr. Albright retvirned home at the close of the 
war, and lived the remainder of his life as a citizen 
of the valley he had helped to defend. He was a 
member of the Lutheran Church, which he lived to 
see prosper in the home of his adoption. He died 
at an advanced age, and his remains lie buried in 
the soil of the valley, in a spot sacred to the mem- 
ory of every lover of his country. We would not 
less nobly consecrate the spot in which the no less 
self-sacrificing wife of his bosom was buried. 

The following will show that Perry county was 
not free from tories during the Revolution : 

Cumberland County, ss. : 

Before me, George Robinson, one of His Majesty's Justices, 
for said county, personally appeared Clefton Bowen, who, being 
duly examined and sworn, doth depose and say : that sometime 
in the month of January last, he, this deponent, was in the house 
of John Montgomery, in Tyrone township, in company with a 
certain Edward Erwin, of Rye township, and this deponent says 
he then and there heard said Erwin drink damnation and con- 
fusion to the Continental Congress, and damn their proceedings, 
saying they were all a parcel of damned rebels, and against spring 
would be cut off like a parcel of snowbirds, and more such stuff. 

Sworn and subscribed before George Robinson, 19th February, 
1776. Clefton Bowen.

CHAPTER II. 



WAR OF 1812-I5. 

During the early part of the year 18 14 Governor 
Simon Snyder ordered that a thousand mihtia be 
raised in Pennsylvania to assist in repelling the 
British invasion on the Canada frontier. About 
one-half of this number was composed of volun- 
teers from Cumberland county; the residue were 
raised principally by draft from the counties of 
Franklin, York and Adams. These soldiers con- 
stituted the Eleventh regiment or division, and 
were commanded by General Porter, and led by 
Colonel James Fenton, Lieut. Col. Robert Bull, 
Majors Galloway and Marlin. The Cumberland 
county troops were rendezvoused at Carlisle, from 
which place they were marched to Pittsburg, 
thence to Black Rock Fort, now the site of the 
thriving city of Buffalo, which place they reached 
about the 1st of April. They remained here in 
encampment, engaged in drill and guard duty, until 
the 2d of July, when General Brown, contrary to 
the expectation of his officers who had made pre- 
paration for the celebration of the Fourth in camp, 
and invited the commander to participate, issued 
orders to embark the troops next morning at day- 
light. 

The army consisted of two brigades. The first 




COURT-HOUSE AT BLOOMFIELD. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 59 

commanded by General Scott, with the artillery corps 
in charge of Major Hurdman, landed nearly a mile 
below, while General Ripley, in command of the 
second brigade, disembarked about the same dis- 
tance above Fort Erie. A battery of long eigh- 
teens was soon planted in position to command the 
fort, while a flag was dispatched with the demand 
to surrender in two hours or the bombardment 
would be commenced. At the end of the truce, 
137 men including officers, marched out and sur- 
rendered themselves prisoners of war. Thus was 
carried out Generals Brown and Scott's determina- 
tion to eat their Fourth of July dinners in Fort Erie. 
The day was one of busy preparation for an ag- 
gressive movement against the enemy's army, 
which was composed of the British's supposed in- 
vincibles, then encamped at the mouth of the Chip- 
pewa. Before daylight, however, on the morning 
of the fifth, it was ascertained that the three days' 
rations, ordered to be supplied to the troops, could 
not be furnished until a boat could be dispatched 
to Buffalo and return with them. This caused a 
delay until two o'clock in the afternoon, before the 
army of about 3,500 were ready to march and it 
was four o'clock before the militia came in sight of 
the regular troops who had preceded them. 

Scarcely had they halted when there was a requisi- 
tion made for volunteers to drive off the Indians, 
who had being annoying the pickets by firing upon 
them from their places of concealment. This was 
answered by about three hundred volunteers, com- 
posed of officers, who exchanged their swords for 



6o HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

muskets, and private soldiers from the Eleventh 
regiment, strengthened by several hundred friend- 
ly Indians, commanded by General Porter, Colonel 
Bull and Major Galloway. An order commanding 
every white man who went with General Porter to 
leave his hat and go with his head uncovered, was 
issued before starting. The Indians tied up their 
heads with muslin and blackened their faces by 
rubbing their hands over burnt stumps before 
starting. Thus equipped the skirmishers started, 
and in less than half an hour were engaged in the 
battle known in history as Chippewa, during the 
progress of which Colonel Bull, Major Galloway, 
Captain White, and a number of private soldiers 
were surrrounded by Indians, who, concealed in 
the high grass, had permitted the main body of the 
troops to pass, that they might the more safely and 
effectually secure the officers. Having disarmed 
their prisoners they next commenced stripping 
them of their clothing, one taking a coat, 
another a vest while a third claimed the neckcloth. 
If a shirt showed a ruffle anywhere a fourth claim- 
ed it. Major Galloway and private Wendt were 
stripped of their boots and compelled to march 
through thorn and other stubble barefoot, until, in 
the language of the latter, "their feet were run 
through and through." 

The party had advanced their prisoners but a 
short distance until they were halted, and there 
was evidently an Indian dissatisfied about some- 
thing. They started again, and had scarce gone 
more than half a mile when the dissatisfied Indian, 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 6 1 

then in the rear, whooped loudly, raised his rifle 
and shot Colonel Bull through the body. The 
ball entered the left shoulder and came out 
through the right breast. After he was pierced 
with the bullet. Colonel Bull raised himself on his 
elbow, reached out his hand to Major Galloway 
and said, " Help me, Wendt, I am shot! " The help 
implored by the dying man was prevented by the 
Indian who had shot him coming up, sinking his 
tomahawk into his head and scalping him. 

This act, so contrary to all laws of human war- 
fare, was no doubt in compliance with the order of 
General Riall, which was in substance not to spare 
any who wore the uniform of militia officers, while 
those who wore the regular officer's uniform were 
to be brought into camp in safety. To this fact we as- 
cribe the cruel fate of a brave soldier and good officer. 

His surviving comrades bear testimony to the 
sober and exemplary habits of Colonel Bull. At 
Erie, it is said, he spent his Sabbaths in the hos- 
pital among the sick, ministering to their physical 
wants, or reading and conversing with them about 
the truths of religion. 

My informant, Michael Donnelly, Esq., volun- 
teered to go aboard of Perry's fleet, then operating 
on Lake Erie, expecting to be gone two or three 
days at most, but did not get back to his company 
until twenty-eight days afterward. 

The following persons from Perry county were 
members of Captain David Moreland's company 
mustered in 1814 and rendezvoused at Carlisle:

This company engaged in no battle of the war, 
its duties being chiefly to guard, yet their deter-

as any band of men who ever left home for the 
army. They were mustered into service on the 
2 1st of April and mustered out on the 26th of July,

HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. I3I 



SECTION III.— EDUCATIONAL. 



CHAPTER I. 



The earliest educational history of Perry county, 
for want of records, can only be obtained from the 
narratives that have descended from generation to 
generation until the year 1834, when an era dawn- 
ed upon Pennsylvania, such as has never been esti- 
mated in importance. 

The first schools were .subscriptiott, kept open 
about three months, or " a quarter" of the year. 

These schools were few and far between, and 
governed absolutely by the teacher. 

Then good scholarship consisted in ciphering to 
the double rule of three, a term happily omitted in 
modern arithmetic, in being able to write legibly 
large and small hand, and ability to read readily in 
the Bible and Testament. 

These schools were often kept in houses very 
poorly suited for the purpose ; slab seats and slab 
writing-boards pinned to the logs of the wall, served 
as furniture. 

The earliest school legislation was an act passed 
on the 28th of March, 18 14, vesting the title of a 
certain piece of land in Toboyne township, in the 
county of Cumberland, in certain trustees and their 
successors, for the use of a school. The Act is 



132 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

short, and we give it in full as an instance of the 
liberality of the Commonwealth at that time toward 
educational enterprises : 

Section i. The Land officers to make a title clear 
of purchase uioiicy and fees to trustees for schools to 
be established i?i the totvnship of Toboyne for a piece 
of land. 

Sec. 2. A majorit}^ of subscribers to supply va- 
cancies of trustees. 

After the Act of 1822, requiring county com-, 
missioners to receive from their parents or guar- 
dians the names of all children between the ages of 
five and twelve years, whose parents were unable 
to school them — this Act imposed a fine of five dol- 
lars upon these officers for a neglect of duty — 
houses began to be erected in the various settle- 
ments of the county. Fifty years ago, the only 
school-house in Fishing Creek Valley, Rye town- 
ship, was near the present residence of Mr. Kocher. 
This house was covered with clap-boards, the com- 
mon roofing material of the houses or cabins of the 
valley at that time, and had no floor. It was lighted 
through single panes of glass fastened side by side 
between parts of two logs. So limited a knowledge 
was deemed necessarj^ for the school-teacher of 
these times, that it is related " a school-master " 
wanted to keep school in this house who was una- 
ble to either write with a pen or give instruction in 
arithmetic. It is further related, to the credit of 
the patrons, that he Avas refused the privilege he 
asked. 

The books used in this school were Dillworth's 



HIsrOUY OF PERRY COUXTY. 1 33 

spelling-book, the Testament, DaBoll's arithmetics, 
and copy-books made of unrided paper. 

The oldest school-house in Penn township was a 
log building, covered with boards split out of logs. 
This house was located near Young's Mill. The first 
school kept in it was by Joseph Mclntire, and was 
attended by pupils who lived within the present 
boundaries of Rye township. Some of these pupils 
walked four miles, morning and evening, to avail 
themselves of the educational advantages of being 
able to read, write and cipher. 

The furniture of this hous^ was slab benches, 
writing boards of the same material fixed to the 
walls, and an old smoky .stove. Mr. Mclntire is 
represented to have been " severe with the hicko- 
ry." He heard four lessons from each pupil in 
reading per day, " made and mended " their pens, 
and "showed " them in ciphering whenever they 
came to him for assistance. The custom then was 
for the pupil to hear the class read while the teacher 
" worked his sum." 

The oldest school-house in Duncannon, formerly 
Petersburg, was built of logs, and stood on the 
ground in front of the one now in use in that 
borough. It was burnt in 1814. 

The ruins of the only school-house in Buck's 
Valley, during its early settlement, may still be seen 
near the base of Halffall Hills. It stands on a 
truly romantic spot, and was probably one of the 
oldest school-houses within the limits of the 
county. 

Who administered school discioline and taught 



134 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

the youthful ideas to shoot, at its first session, has 
not been certainly preserved. 

An old school-house in Pfoutz's Valley not very 
far from Hart's mill, served to give educational ad- 
vantages to pupils of both Pfoutz's and Wildcat 
valleys, until Wright's and Grubb's school-houses 
were built in 1836. Millerstown at this time was 
a village of Greenwood township. 

The oldest school-house at Liverpool was situat- 
ed on the site of the present Lutheran church, and 
was either removed or in ruins in 1828, when the 
church was built, for, it is said, that the corner- 
stone of the church was laid on the spot where the 
old school-house had stood. Rev. Heim's journal 
contains the following: "On the 17th of Decem- 
ber, 1 8 14, in the evening, I preached at Stollen- 
berger's school-house, from Eph. v. 14." 

In this same old school-house, in 1810,. Rev. 
"Heim organized the Lutheran congregation, whose 
descendants worship in the church which stands so 
high above it now. In it, too, the early settlers' 
children of Liverpool town and township receiv^ed 
the elements of their education. 

Millerstown has a \^enenible old school building, 
which antedates the free-school system. This 
house, enlarged to meet the growing educational 
wants of the place, still stands on its old site. It 
was used for religious meetings until the churches 
were built. 

The first school-house in Tuscarora township 
was situated in the narrows leading from Donnally's 
mills to Buckwheat V'allev. It was built of losfs. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 35 

and known, at that time, as the " Narrow's School." 
To this house the Bulls, Blacks, Robinsons and 
Henches, of the second generation, came to receive 
an education. The next school-house was built on 
the property now owned by Joseph Leonard. These 
houses served the purpose until they were supple- 
mented by the seven which are now in use. 

Saville township has a sacred school history, 
from the fact that she has been the birth-place and 
early home of more Christian ministers than any 
township in the county. 

The old school-houses were situated originally, 
one below Ickesburg, near Judge Elliott's farm, 
another on the Irvin estate, and a third just below 
Sandy Hill, in Madison township. These were all, 
in their day, in Tyrone township. These old 
houses in Saville have been improved by the third 
edition. The last is credited yz/'^-/ in the county. 

Tyrone has built and rebuilt school-houses until 
there are but two of the first houses erected for the 
purpose remaining, and these in the last formed 
settlements of Shafer's and Kennedy's valleys. 
Tyrone is a progressive district, awake to the fact 
that the best school economy is well-built and well- 
furnished school-houses, and the best qualified 
teachers in them, employed at liberal salaries. 

In Landisburg, the earliest to move for free 
schools by legislative enactment, we would natural- 
ly expect to find the best school buildings. Instead, 
however, an old stone veteran of many years' ser- 
vice still serves the free-schools of the place. 
Spring township had an old school-house, located 



136 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

near St. Peter's church, which was used for religious 
worship by the Lutheran congregation, previous to 
the erection of the old log church in 18 16. 

Carl's (Charles') school-house about one mile 
and a-half east of Elliottsburg, was used by a 
Lutheran congregation from 1837 to 1840. This 
house was situated on a lot of seventeen acres of 
land, donated in his will for school purposes, by 
Henry Ludolph Spark. Mr. Spark had a school- 
house erected on this tract, in which he taught 
school for many years. He died, and lies buried 
in an old grave-yard near by. After Mr. Spark's 
death, a Mr. Carl succeeded him, and administered 
school affairs for twenty years, with such success as 
to have his name given to the school-house, which 
should have been called Spark's. 

This donation of seventeen acres of land was ex- 
pressly stated by Mr. Spark in his will, to be for a 
school-house and a school-teacher, but his idea of a 
school, with a teacher's honi i and gardens attached, 
has never been carried out in Little Germany (as 
this place came to be called). 

The school-houses of Madison township were 
the ones mentioned in describing those of Saville 
and Sandy Hill, and the other at Center. These 
are believed to have been the oldest houses built 
for the purpose within the present limits of Madi- 
son township. 

The brick building erected at Clark's for a 
graded and primary school, is a creditable structure 
for the purpose. 

The oldest school-house in Toboyne township, 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 37 

as described by one who saw and went to school 
in it, was situated about twenty rods from Esquire 
Joshua Rowe's dweUing house. It was covered 
with clap-boards, had slat benches and writing- 
"boards, and a wooden chimney. It had two win- 
dows, which emitted light through greased paper. 
The ceiling was made by laying poles across, close 
together, and then plastering on the top of them. 
The floor was made of split logs, fitted together 
by hewing the edges. 

This, at that time, was the nearest approach from 
the East of a school-house to the Round Top 
Mountain. 

Toboyne township is now pretty well supplied 
with school-houses, and manifests considerable in- 
terest in educational affairs. 

New Germantown has a graded school, the only 
one in the township. 

In Juniata township there is an old school-house 
at Markelville, which doubtless served the early 
settlers of that neighborhood. Markelville main- 
tained quite a creditable school, without missing a 
session for nearly twelve years after Rev. A. R. 
Height's opened its first summer session. 

The school was continued during Superintendent 
Height's term of office, in a building improvised 
for the purpose. Markelville Academy building 
was erected by Mr. George Markel. The school 
continued in this building after Mr. Market's de- 
cease, but it soon became apparent that with his 
death the educational project lost its mainspring. 
After Rev. Height's term of office expired, he left 



138 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

the county, and was succeeded by Rev. Geo. Rea, 
Profs. Geo. W. Leisher, C. W. Super, and Mr. 
Alexander Stephens. 

Juniata township has a proud array of young, 
men of the present generation, who started as 
teachers in her pubhc schools. Of these I cannot 
speak in other than general terms here, except of 
one, in whom many bright hopes centered, and of 
whom much was reasonably expected. 

John Jones, jr., was born in Juniata township, near 
Milford, of highly respected parentage. He received 
a common-school preparation for the business of 
teaching, which he began in his seventeenth year, 
and continued during the annual four-months' term, 
until the winter of 1861 and '62. 

In the spring of i860, the writer of this sketch 
first became acquainted with young Jones, at 
Bloomfield Academy. Entering asfarmerboys and 
strangers at the same time, we were soon fast friends. 
John was soon the acknowledged champion of the 
school ; possessed of great muscular agility and 
power, he was always on the winner's side in the 
athletic games. His mind was as vigorous as his 
body, and proportionably powerful. He had a 
retentive memory, but his crowning intellectual 
development was his reasoning faculty. He con- 
tinued his studies at Bloom.field Academy during 
the summer sessions of i860 and 1861. He en- 
tered Iron City Commercial College in the fall of 
1861 ; graduated and returned home, where he 
remained during the remainder of the winter. In the 
spring of 1862, he entered the law office of Hon. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 39 

B. F. Junkin, where he pursued the study of law 
until August, when he entered the Army of" the Po- 
tomac, and served nine months in company G, 133d 
Pennsylvania regiment. In 1864, he served six 
months in Captain Frederick's company as sergeant, 
and, upon a recruiting officer of the Ninth Pennsyl- 
vania Regiment appearing in their midst and ask- 
ing such as were willing to re-enlist to step out of 
the ranks, sixteen men said, "If our sergeant goes 
we will go ! " whereupon Jones, under that religious 
conviction of duty which he never disobeyed, 
stepped out, and became a soldier of his country for 
three years longer. For a young man he possess- 
ed large and varied attainments, and his poems, 
" The Old Chestnut Tree," and " Our Country," 
show sufficiently his original merit. They were 
written in less than six months from the time he 
rhymed his first stanza. 

A single stanza, the first from " Our Country," 
will give the reader an opportunity to judge of his 

versification : 

" When maddened frenzy leads the van 

And reason holds no sway, 

It makes a demon out of man, 

And darkness out of day." 

John Jones was killed at Solemn Grove, North 
Carolina, March 10, 1865. He has left a record for 
patriotism characteristic of the man. He, the 
young, the talented, the noble, the brave, died that 
his country might live. Cherished be his memory ! 

Oue of Juniata township's old school-houses is in 
ruins on a place owned by Mr. Myers ; another was 
near Milford, and a third is probably still standing, 



140 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

and, from the shape of its walls, is known as eight 
square. 

Oliver township had three school-houses, some 
years ago, that were probably the first within her 
borders. Earlier educational advantages were af- 
forded at the Myers and Milford schools in Juniata, 
to which this township originally belonged. 

Some of the present school-houses in Center 
township were the original ones in the neighbor- 
hoods where fhey are found. 

We have no authentic account of the first 
school-houses, other than that they were very few 
and far between. 

Sutch's school-house, in Carroll township, was 
located on the south-east bank of Sherman's 
creek. The spot on which this house stood was 
consecrated anew by the erection of Mount Pisgah 
Evangelical Lutheran church on it. This school- 
house was erected some time between 1775 and 
1780. It was the first school-house in PLsgah Val- 
ley, and, like Reiber's, built twenty or twenty-five 
years later, intended to serve the double purpose 
of church and school-house. 

Of the other school-houses we have no other 
data than the fact that several of those now in use 
bear the impress of antiquity. 

Wheatfield township has built new school- 
houses, which are all removed from the sites of the 
old ones. The old foundation of one might have 
been seen but a few years ago near Esquire Pot- 
ter's ; Center was another, and Fio used as a 
preaching place by the Lutheran congregation, who 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. I4I 

have since built " St. David's church," until 1845. 
Religious meetings are held in the school-houses 
of nearly all the townships in the county. 

In many localities, for want of churches, this 
cannot be avoided ; but wherever it can they should 
not be used for this purpose during the time that 
the schools are in session. 

A remarkable instance of wise legislation in re- 
sponse to the petitions of the people, is seen in the 
act passed in 1831, which provided for the appoint- 
ment of trustees of the public school-house in the 
town of Landisburg, Perry county, and gave them 
power to examine teachers for said school, to visit 
the same once a month, and to dismiss the teacher 
for misconduct, want of capacity, and negligence. 
— Syphe/s Peimsylvania History. 

From the county auditors' report for 1 831, we 
learn that $171.17^ cents were expended by the 
county in instructing poor children. This amount, 
compared with ;$3 5, 397-69, the amount levied and 
collected by taxation to support her schools in 1870, 
sufficiently indicates the progress that has been 
made in the thirty-nine intervening years, and with 
all this we seem to have progressed but slowly. 

Under the pauper system, as it was appropri- 
ately called, there was a distinction, making an en- 
vious comparison between the rich and poor ; so 
marked was this difference that it was the basis for 
two classes. The poor could hardly ever hope to 
rise from the stigma that was placed upon them 
by the aid intended to be a blessing. 

After the Act of 1834, arrangements were made 



142 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

for building school-houses in every settled portion 
of the county ; school-directors were elected who 
supervised the building of these houses, and select- 
ed teachers after an examination by the most com- 
petent of their own number, or some other person 
chosen by a majority of them. 

Educational meetings previous to the adoption 
of the county superintendency in 1854, consisted in 
old-fashioned spelling and singing-schools. These 
had a healthy social influence on society, beside, 
in the former, much pride in spelling was created. 

As an instance of one of these school meetings, 
we have a notice in the Forester, signed by Wm. 
B. Mitchell, Jesse Miller and Jacob Fritz, school- 
men. This meeting was advertised to be held May 
7, 1825, and was no doubt intended to carry out 
the provisions of the Act of 1825, which had been 
previously printed in the columns of the same 
paper.

CHAPTER 11. 



THE SUPERINTENDENCY. 

Rev. Adam R. Height, of Mechanicsburg, Cum- 
berland county, accepted the call of the Lutheran 
charge of New Bloomfield and vicinity, and com- 
menced his pastoral duties on the ist of March, 
1854. He continued to exercise the privilege of his 
calling until the meeting of synod at Shrewsbury, 
York county, Pa- In the following September, he 
was superseded by Rev. David H. Focht. 

Rev. Height came to Perry in season to receive 
the lead of educational affairs in the county under 
the Act creating the county superintendency. The 
first triennial school convention met in the court- 
house. New Bloomfield, on the 5th of June, 1854. 
The officers elected were Joseph Baily, President, 
and James L. Diven, Secretary. 

A motion was made to fix the salary at $600, 
which was voted down, and the salary finally fixed 
at ;^300 per annum.

144 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Rev. Height, elected by a majority of two votes, 
was commissioned soon after in the same month, 
and entered upon the actual duties of the office, 
the examination of teachers, in September. 

Rev. Height's administration of school affairs 
shows him to have been zealous of their improve- 
ment, prompt and efficient in the discharge of his 
official duty. He used the press more extensively 
than any of his successors in office, and through it 
by making reports of visits and by giving sugges- 
tions, accomplished more than he received credit 
for doing, for in the succeeding convention he was 
defeated. 

At the second triennial convention, which met 
in May, 1857, Rev. Theodore P. Bucher, a graduate 
of Pennsylvania College, was elected to succeed 
Superintendent Height. Rev. Bucher was a native 
of Cumberland county ; he came to Perry county 
while a boy to serve as a clerk in Thatcher's store, 
at Newport. His studious and exemplary habits 
attracted the attention of the church of which he 
was a member, whose aid was thus invoked toward 
his collegiate education. Rev. Bucher had but re- 
cently completed his theological studies, when he 
was elected to fill the position of county superin- 
tendent. 

During Superintendent Bucher's administration 
of school affairs, he was engaged in teaching dur- 
ing the summer in Mt. Dempsy Academy, Landis- 
burg. The plan of visiting and examining teachers 
pursued by his predecessor was followed in the 
main. 



HISTORY OK PERRY COUNTY. I45 

A teachers' institute, at which were present 
Profs. Fordyce A. Allen and B. F. Taylor, of 
Chester county, was held during the holiday week 
of 1858, in the court-house, Bloomfield. This 
meeting was attended by many teachers from the 
various sections of the county, and was the first 
educational meeting attended by the writer, then 
a mere boy attending public school. 

Superintendent Bucher resigned during the sum- 
mer of 1859, and was succeeded by the appoint- 
ment of Praf Lewis Barnett Kerr, a native of 
Tuscarora township, whose commission dated 
from September i, 1859. Mr. Kerr filled the 
unexpired term with such acceptance as to be 
elected at the third triennial convention, which met 
in May of i860. 

The educational work had progressed with such 
success up to this time, that there was a corps of 
teachers, in 1 860, equal to the best that had ever 
been engaged in the schools of the county. 

During the winter of i860, three teachers' insti- 
tutes were held, one at Landisburg, one at Peters- 
burg, and another at Liverpool. These were all well 
attended. At the institute held at Landisburg, 
Prof J. P. Wickersham,of the State Normal School, 
at Lancaster, was present, and gave instruction by 
drills and lectures. 

In the superintendent's annual report for i860, 
ten district institutes are mentioned as having been 
in operation, of which special prominence is given 
to the ones held in Liverpool, Madison and Penn. 
The school interest of the second and last 
7 



146 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

years of Superintendent Kerr's administration 
became subsidiary to the all absorbing subject of 
war, which called from the school-room, workshop, 
and farm, the bravest and best. To supply the 
schools with teachers', inexperienced boys and 
young women were called into the ranks during 
the continuance of the war. 

The fourth triennial convention met in Bloom- 
field, May 4th, 1863. An organization was effect- 
ed by electing Major Kirk Haines, President, and 
Chas. A. Barnett and Wm. J, Stewart, Esqs., 
Secretaries. . 

There were present 82 of the 156 directors, rep- 
jesenting the school districts of the county. Rye, 
Buffalo, Jackson and Toboyne townships were 
not represented. The convention proceeded to fill 
the office of county superintendent.

was taken on each, until it was finally fixed at 
;^300. This was $100 lower than had been paid to 
the previous superintendent. 

During Superintendent Gantt's term, the special 
Act appropriating money from the county treasury 
to defray the expenses of one annual county teach- 
ers' institute was extended to Perry.

HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. I47 

The salary was raised from ^300 to 5500, by a 
convention assembled for that purpose. Superin- 
tendent Gantt held county institutes at Bloomfield, 
Millerstown and Newport. District institutes were 
held in most of the townships in the county. 

The fifth school convention met May, 1866, 
and elected, over Jacob Gantt and George W. 
Leisher, on the third ballot, Silas Wright, a native 
of Greenwood township. Mr. Wright was the first 
and then the only graduate of a State normal 
school, and not yet twenty-five years of age. His 
administration of school affairs was fearlessly ag- 
gressive, and brought out the croakers more than 
once through the columns of the county press. 

The county teachers' institute held at Bloom- 
field during the holiday weeks of December, 1866, 
and 1867, and the one at Newport, during the same 
time for 1868, signalized a new era in the educa- 
tional history of these associations. The best in- 
structors were commanded from abroad, while, at 
the same time, home talent was allowed to evince 
itself 

Juniata Valley Normal School was first opened, 
for a summer session, at Newport, in April, 1867 
it was opened in Millerstown in 1868, where it has 
been continued ever since. This school was be- 
gun and is still continued under the principalship 
of Silas Wright. 

The sixth annual convention, May, 1869, was 
attended by seventy-sjx of the one hundred and 
sixty-eight school directors of the county. Four 
candidates were presented at this convention : 



148 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Lewis B. Kerr being elected over Silas Wright on 
the eleventh ballot, by eight votes. Educational pro- 
gress during this administration of the school su- 
perintendency, is shown in better school-houses 
and in higher salaries to teachers ; but it is feared 
the average efficiency of the teachers hardly ex- 
hibits a proportional increase. 

The seventh triennial convention, which met in 
Bloomfield on the 7th of May, 1872, was repre- 
sented by 98 school directors, being from 25 dis- 
tricts. Howe, Watts and New Buffalo were un- 
represented. The salary was voted ;^7oo per an- 
num. Gardner C. Palm, of Loysville, George C. 
Welker, of Liverpool, and Silas Wright, of Millers- 
town, were put in nomination. George C. Welker 
was elected over G. C. Palm, on the third ballot, by 
a majority of 8. 

Jesse Miller was born in Millerstown, Perry 
county, Pa., in 1800. He became successively 
High Sheriff, State legislator, member of Congress, 
member of State Board of Canal Commissioners, 
Auditor of the Treasury Department, at Washing- 
ton, and finally Secretary of the Commonwealth 
and Superintendent of Common Schools during the 
administration of Governor Shunk. 

Mr. Miller is believed to have first directly sug- 
gested to the Legislature of Penn'a, the plan of each 
county having its own superintendent of the public 
schools. This was enacted into a law and approved 
by the Governor, March 6th, 1854. Hon. Jesse 
Miller died Aug. 20th, 1850, in the 5 ist year of his 
age. He was a self-made man, in the educational 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. I 49 

acceptation of the term, having had none other than 
common-school advantages for an education. He 
was a man of indomitable will, and supplied the 
lack of all eloC by superior energy and industry. 

The greatest hindrances to the cause of free edu- 
cation in Perry county, are short annual terms, an 
average of 4.3 months in 1871 ; low salaries, ^50 
per month being the highest for the same year, and, 
as a result, inexperienced teachers. Many districts 
exhibit a commendable interest in the work that 
have not yet made any considerable advance. The 
graded school is slowly but surely working its way 
into the favor of the people, and we look confident- 
ly forward to the time when every district will have 
its own high school, presided over by a principal 
who shall be the superintendent of that district by 
virtue of his office. 

The general intelligence of Perry county is equal 
to that of any of the adjoining counties ; yet we 
recop-nize the fact that much remains to be done. 

o 

We have built school-house?, in many instances, 
on grounds unsuitable, more to literally fulfill the 
requirements of the law, than to well subserve the 
purposes intended ; but better sentiments begin to 
pervade' the public mind as the necessity for an 
education becomes greater. Outline maps and 
magnetic globes are found in the majority of the 
schools, and there is not one district, in the whole 
county, in which the school-houses are not sup- 
plied with blackboards of some kind.

152 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 



SECTION IV.— PHYSICAL. 



CHAPTER I. 



THE GEOLOGY. 

Perry county lies wholly within the central for- 
mation of the State, and hence from the fact that 
no coal, except an outcrop of less than six inches 
in thickness in the end of Berry's Mountain, has 
yet been discovered, it is fair to infer, that it is of 
a lower and older formation, most probably the 
next or Silurian, than the Carboniferous. 

Perry county is bounded on the south by the 
Kittatinny Mountain — the Tuscarora forms the 
north-western boundary, joining the Kittatinny by 
spurs. The Susquehanna river completes the boun- 
dary on the east. Thus it will be seen, that these 
three prominent and well-defined boundaries en- 
close the county, in a shape which requires but 
little imagination to convert into a triangle. 

The geological character of this county must be 
studied in connection with the rock formations east 
of the Susquehanna river. 

Beginning at the base of the Kittatinny Moun- 
tain at Marysville, we have an inferior series com- 
posed chiefly of olive colored slate, streaked with 
strata of gray sandstone. This formation ranges 
westward ; widening east of Landisburg, it sweeps 
around on the north of the red shale and sandstone 
of Sherman's creek ; it returns through south-west- 



/' 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 53 

ern Saville, thence along Buffalo creek, across the 
Juniata, extending through Howe and Buffalo 
townships, reaches the Susquehanna above Halifax. 
Here it unites with the corresponding formation of 
the northern basin which extends nearly due west- 
ward on the north of Bloomfield, to a point on the 
head of Sherman's creek, near the village of Blain, 
whence its northern division passes north-eastward 
through northern Madison, Sandy Hill, Saville, 
thence south-east through Buckwheat and Sugar 
Run valleys, crosses the Juniata below Millerstown, 
reaches the Susquehanna through Greenwood and 
Liverpool townships, above Liverpool. The outer 
limits of this series are marked by ranges of hills 
or ridges containing the coarse fossiliferous sand- 
stone, below which, in geologic position is the ac- 
companying limestone. 

The red shale which underlies the conglomerate 
floor of the coal fields extends across the Susque- 
hanna above Dauphin, forming a cove in Penn 
township, formerly known as Allen's Cove. The 
red shale of Lykens Valley extends across the 
river, and is enclosed by Buffalo and Berry's moun- 
tains in a triangular-shaped valley, known as Hun- 
ter's Valley. 

The same formation continued on both sides of 
Buffalo Mountain crosses the river, and is extended 
between the slate and limestone in the western part 
of the county. The sandstone which is next in 
order below the red shale, encloses it in Cove 
Mountain, which is the union of Peter's and Second 
Mountain. The same sandstone formation is found 



154 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

on the north side of Buffalo, which is an extension 
of Mohontongo Mountain joining with Berry's 
Mountain. 

These formations, the fossiHferous sandstone with 
the underlying limestone, extend on the north of 
the Kittatinny as far as Wagner's Gap, where they 
pass northward near Landisburg, and then north- 
eastward by Bloomfield, across the Juniata, on the 
east of the river ; they then extend south-eastward 
for a short distance, until they crop to the surface 
in Howe township, just below John Patterson's, 
along the river, where lime-kilns have been in op- 
eration for a number of years. The northern divi- 
sion of the limestone formation passes westward 
nearly to Germantown, and then folds back to the 
north-east, along the base of the Conecocheage and 
Tuscarora mountains, crosses the Juniata near 
Millerstown, and extends through Pfoutz's Valley 
to the Susquehanna. 

There are red and variegated shales lying between 
the limestone and the sandstone, of both the Kitta- 
tinny and Tuscarora ranges of these series in 
Perry county. 

The following is Mr. Trego's estimate of the 
quantity of the different kinds of soil : 

Limestone, 18,460 Acres. 

Slate, 104,780 

Gravel, 74,7io 

Sand, 5,040 

Mountain and Stony, 68,240 

Iron Ore, 40 

Total 271,270 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 55 

This calculation is probably based upon an area 
less than that found by G. M. Ho'pkins, the civil 
engineer, who made the surveys and measurements 
for the excellent and accurate county map of Perry, 
Juniata and Mifflin, published in 1863, by Smith, 
Gallup and Hewitt. 

Perry county is 47 miles long and 145^ miles of 
an average width. Its area is 550 square miles, 
leaving 80,730 acres not assigned to any kind of 
soil in Mr. Tergo's calculation. 

Hematite and Fossil iron ores are now exten- 
sively mined in Michael's ridge, Greenwood town- 
ship, Tuscarora Mountains, Tuscarora township. 
Limestone ridge in Oliver and Miller townships, 
and Halffall Hills in Buffalo and Watts townships. 
These are all newly opened mines, and give prom- 
ise of contributing largely for many years to the 
chief mineral wealth of the county. The hematite 
or specular ore found in these mines has a red, 
earthy appearance. It is as hard as feldspar — yield- 
ing usually about 70 per cent, of iron. It is not at- 
tracted by the magnet, and hence has no influence 
upon the magnetic needle, unless heated by artifi- 
cial means. 

Hematite iron ore is generally accompanied by 
rocks of the metamorphic formation. Limonite, 
or fossil iron ore, as it is locally known among our 
miners, is a hydrous sesquioxyd, containing 85.6 of 
the ore to 14.4 parts of water. It occurs along with 
alumina, magnesia, or lime, in many varieties. It 
varies in color from a black or brown to yellowish- 
brown, and earthy. The color of the powder dis- 



156 HISTORY OF PRRRV COUXTV. 

tinguishcs this species, as well as t\\2 magnetic, 
from hematite. 

The only mineral or mineral products of the coun- 
ty are iron ore, already described, and limestone, 
though at various times flattering prospects have 
been entertained of both coal and petroleum. 

The Per/y Forester for May, 1827, contains the 
following: "A very extensive bed of stone coal 
has been discovered near the mouth of Sherman's 
creek, in this county, on land belonging to Stephen 
Duncan, Esq., of Philadelphia. This discovery is 
another proof that what our county lacks in quan- 
tity of fertile land, nature has supplied in the inex- 
haustible wealth contained within the bowels of 
our mountains." 

In October, 1865, two oil companies were or- 
ganized in Perry county. The one known as Col- 
ler Oil Company held a lease-hold in Saville town- 
ship, on the head-waters of Buffalo creek, consisting 
of one hundred and thirty acres, the lease running 
for ninety years upon a royalty of one-tenth, to be 
rendered in vessels furnished by the lessor. It is 
hardly necessary to tell any of the present genera- 
tion that this enterprise failed, notwithstanding it 
was encouraged by public-spirited men, who 
believed that there were unmistakable surface indica- 
tions of a rich basin of petroleum. 

This company was organized with a capital stock 
of ;^ 1 00,000, divided into 20,000 shares. The par 
value of each share was $5, and the subscription 
price one dollar. The working capital was;^io,ooo. 

About two weeks earlier was started the pioneer 



HISrOKY OF PKRRY COrNTV. 157 

oil company, known as Snyder Spring Oil Compa- 
ny. It was organized with a capital of ^5o,OJO, 
making ^i both the par value and the subscription 
price per share. 

This company held two leases, each for twenty- 
one years, one from William Snyder for seventy 
acres, and the other from Godfrey Burket.both liv- 
ing in Saville township, about eight miles from 
Bloomfield. This company seems to have been 
organ''. jd to settle the question then so violently 
agitating the popular mind " oil or no oil," and 
found as their answer no oil. 

During the summer of 1871, a number of persons 
living in Spring and Tyrone townships, contributed 
to a corporation similarly organized to the oil com- 
panies for the purpose of testing the indications of 
coal within their limits. The operations were car- 
ried on by boring and it was reported through the 
columns of the county papers that Mr. George 
Sheibley, who superintended the work on the farm 
of Mr. Freeman, north of Loysville, passed through 
a 13-inch vein of coal. 

The indications in Spring township, near Oak 
Grove, have attracted public attention for a number 
of years, and seem to us the strongest west of 
the Juniata. 

The limestone found in Perry county is mostly 
of the Massive variety, and contains about 56 parts 
of quick lime to 44 of carbonic acid, when burnt. 

Dana says : " Most limestone has been formed 
from shells and corals ground up by the action of 
the sea and afterward consolidated." 



158 HISTORY or PERRY COUNTY. 

The first lime burnt in Toboyne township, was 
near Mountain run by Henry Mumper, for a stone 
wall, and the last of it was hauled out about four- 
teen years ago for fertilizing farm-land. 

As early as 1830, lime was used as a fertilizer in 
Raccoon and Pfoutz's valleys. Then the stone 
was hauled and burnt, in kilns with wood on the 
land-owner's farm. This was done doubtless to use 
the wood which was then superabundant and al- 
most without a market. Now the scarcity of wood 
and the use of anthracite coal has inaugurated a 
new system, which is to burn the lime in stacks or 
kilns near the quarr}^, and then haul it. A few of 
these old lime-kilns in ruins in valleys where there 
is no limestone may still be seen. 

As places of wild and scientific grandeur to the 
tourist, student and scientist, we recommend Lime- 
stone Ridge, between Newport and Bloomfield ; 
Forge Hill, on the Pfoutz's Valley side; Coneco- 
cheague Mountains, along the main road to Horse 
Valley, north of New Germantown, and the "Path" 
from Horse Valley to Fairview tannery; the paths 
from Little Illinois to Sheaffer's Valley, and that 
from Sheaffer's to Kennedy's Valley ; the gaps 
through which roads pass from Cumberland to 
Perry county, and the arrangement of the hills at 
and surrounding Duncannon. At the last men- 
tioned place, three distinct landscapes with far- 
reaching perspectives, may be viewed and enjoyed. 
Here there seems to be the strongest indications 
of a glacial epoch in its formation. When the 
mighty glacier cut out among the mountains a 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 59 

course for the broad Susquehanna, piling its late- 
ral moraines into our Tuscarora, Conecocheague 
and Kittatinny mountains, then we imagine the 
supposed lake that covered the chaotic location of 
Duncannon to have had its existence. There are 
many indications pointing to the glacial epoch of 
the Susquehanna, but exactly in calendar years 
when it existed, how fast the glacier advanced in 
opening this greatest river channel to the ocean, 
we leave to be determined in the great future by 
the careful, and persistent study of scientific men, 
whose time can be given exclusively to this work, 
assured that their interpretation of geological facts, 
if true, will be the truth. 



l6o HISTORY OF PERKY COUNTY. 



CHAPTER II. 



THE FLORA. 

Our earliest spring flower is the Liver Leaf 
{Hepatica triloba), a plant found along the border 
of hilly woods. It is readily distinguished by its 
blue flower being surrounded by three small leaves, 
which are three-lobed and quite woolly on the 
under side when young, and purplish when old. 

Much njore abundant on the hill-sides and near 
it will be found the Rue Anemone {Tlialictruni 
a7i£ mo nicies,) distinguished by its tuberous roots, 
its delicate foliage, and pure white or purplish star- 
like flowers. It is distinguished from the Wood 
Anemone {Aneviene Jicviorosa) which is found 
growing in damp places, by having a single flower 
on the stem. 

Two species of Buttercups will next attract 
attention in the meadows. This genus may read- 
ily be distinguished by the minute scale or leaf at 
its base. The Creeping Crowfoot {Riinuncuhis 
percns) may be distinguished from the Early Crow- 
foot {Rnrmcuhis fascicularis,) in the narrower divi- 
sions of its leaves and its longer prostrate stems. 

The Rose family {RosaccE) derives its importance 
from the many valuable trees, shrubs and plants 
embraced in its genus. The apple, pear, quince, 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. l6l 

peach, nectarine, apricot, plum, prune, gage and 
cherry are the exotics adopted into the flora of 
Perry county. 

The flowering shrubs of this family are the Rose, 
queen of flowers, which, with its many varieties, 
may be found in our gardens or hibernating in the 
sunlight of our soutli side windows. 

The Sweet Brier [Rjsa ruhiginosa), with its nu- 
merous prickles and sweet smell, seen along unfre- 
quented byways, or roadsides, is a straggler from 
Europe. 

Another very pretty plant of the rose family is 
the Indian Physic {Gillenia trifoliatd), is commonly 
found ofrowincf in thickets and borders of woods. 
It grows about eighteen inches high, has a reclin- 
ing stem, with leaflets in threes. The narrow pink- 
ish-white petals, or flower leaves, are about one inch 
long. 

The Agrimona of the Eupatoria tribe, has small 
yellow flowers, in a long spike, and leaves composed 
of five or seven leaflets, with smaller ones between. 

The Avens goialuin, which has three-lobed stem 
leaves and small white flowers, may be better dis- 
tinguished by the round green head of fruit which 
has attached to its seed vessels the bristle jointed 
styles, the upper joints of which fall off, leaving the 
under piece, which is hooked, ready to cling to the 
fleeces of animals, and thus scatter the seed. 

The former two of the three last mentioned species 
are esteemed for their medicinal properties. All are 
frequently found growing in shaded meadows 
where the grass is thin. 



1 62 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

The common Cinque-foll {PotcntUla caiiadensis) 
or five-finger, is found in neglected fields and on 
hill-sides in abundance. A kindred species, but a 
coarser plant, with but three leaflets, is often found 
in gardens and in fields. These two species are 
the only ones of the genus yet discovered. 

The Wild Strawberry [Fragaria virginiana) is 
the only member of the family rosaceae, which is a 
native of both Europe and America. It is found 
growing in neglected fields, and produces a small 
and sweeter variety of fruit than the cultivated kinds. 
Strawberry culture is claiming more general atten- 
tion than formerly, induced, no doubt, by the 
greater demand for this kind of fruit. 

Along fence rows, in the greatest profusion, may 
be seen the High Blackberry {Rubus vilos^is) with 
its stout, nearly erect stem, and the Dewberry [R. 
canadensis) an extensively trailing plant, with ear- 
lier, larger and better fruit. 

There are two species of Raspberry, the high 
{Riibus occidentalis), which is a companion of the 
high blackberry, and the purple flowering, which 
is found on our hills and upland slopes. This last 
variety is readily distinguished by its purple flowers 
and undivided leaves. 

To the division of the Rose family, distinguished 
for the apple and pear, belong two species of thorn- 
bush. Each has numerous leaflets and pointed 
branches or spines. The Scarlet Fruited Thorn 
[Cratcsgus coccince), a low tree with smooth leaves 
and a smooth stem, and scarlet fruit. The black or 
Pear Thorn {CnTtap-ns toiiioitosa), a higher tree, 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 63 

whose young leaves and branches are downy, and 
whose fruit is dull and yellowish, with whitish spots, 
is found in thickets and copses. The height of the 
Thorn-bush is rarely more than fifteen feet. 

The June Berry [Ajiielanchier canadensis) is a 
small tree, the trunk of which resembles the maple, 
easily recognized in early spring by its numerous 
showy white flowers, and by the middle of June by 
its small red ripe berries. The fruit of the June 
Berry is delicate to the taste when raw, but when- 
ever cooked it becomes bitter and unfit for use. 

The Wild Cherry [Prnmis scrotina) grows to be 
a fine large tree, valuable both for its wood and 
bark ; also, for its small black cherries, which are 
crowded along a racemed stem. This tree is valued 
for its medicinal properties. 

The Wild Plum [Primus a/nencanus) is a native, 
and found along creek banks. 

Of the Lilaceae family, there are Garden Aspara- 
gus {Asparagus officinalis), Field Garlic, {Allium, 
veneale), the Wild Yellow Lily {Lilium canadensis) 
which may be seen in our meadows. Of the Sedge 
family, the Bullrush {Scirpiil lacustus) is common 
along our smaller streams, while along the creeks 
and rivers, down at the water's edge may be found 
the River Club Rush {S.fluviatilis). 

The Heath family is represented in ourwoods by 
the Huckleberry {Grylussacici) of several varieties. 
The Box-leaved Huckleberry {G. brachysera) is 
found on the Mahonoy hills, near New Bloomfield. 
The Blue Tangle {G. frodosa) grows in fence cor- 



164 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

ners of cleared fields, and in the edges of woods, 
where the ground is not too dry. 

The Ground Laurel [Epigca), Creeping Winter- 
green {Gaultliena procumbens), with the several va- 
rieties of Laurel, the Mountain Laurel [Kalmialati- 
folid), and the Sheep Laurel [K. augustrifolia), are 
the most common perennials belonging to our woods. 

The Black-snake Root [Ciincifuga) belongs to the 
" butter-cup" family. It grows in moist ground, 
and is valued for medicinal purposes. 

Of Columbines, the crimson and yellow [Aquile- 
gia canadoisis) growing among rocks in craggy 
places, is one of the prettiest of our early spring 
flowers. 

The Barberry family is represented in the May 
Apple {Podophylbwt petatum), or Mandrake, in the 
Yellow Pond Lily or Spatter-dock {Nitpharadvenoi) 
and in the Twrn-X^dS. {Jcffcrsonia dipJiylld), which is 
sometimes called the Rheumatism Root. Of the 
Composite family, we have the dandelion, thistle, 
aster, golden rod, or sun-flower ; being so com- 
mon, we omit their scientific names. 

The Arum family is represented in the Indian 
Turnip [An'scrna triphylluin). It is intensely acrid, 
as who has not tested ? The swamp, or Chicago 
Cabbage {Symplocarpus fcetidus), belongs to the same 
family, and is found along creeks, or in marshy 
meadows. It has a medical reputation for some 
diseases. 

The St. John's Wort family is represented in the 
common variety {Hypcncum pcrfomtuui), which is 
commonly found in pasture fields, and the Daisy 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 65 

{Bi'llis perciinis), wliich is indulged by too many- 
farmers. 

The Virginia Snake-root {^Arlstolochia serpenta- 
ria), is found growing in our woods. It is found 
on Forge Hill, and is one of the two representa- 
tives of the Birthwort family. The other is the 
Wild Ginger {Asantni canadensis). 

The common Poke or Shoke [SJiytolacca decon- 
dra) grows in moist grounds. In early spring it 
is sometimes eaten as a substitute for asparagus. 

There are also represented of Mints all the com- 
mon varieties, the Tansies and of the Lobelia family, 
the Indian Tobacco [Lobelia inflatd). 

" A very common shrub along fence rows, is the 
Elder [Savtbuciis canadensis), distinguished by its 
large flat-topped bunches of small white flowers." 
The red-berried Elder [Sambuciis pudcns),vf\th. long 
bunches of flowers and red berries, is rarely found 
except on the hill slopes. 

Growing on banks often near a stream are found 
the Arrow-wood [Vilbnnnnn dentatuni) and the 
Dock Mackie ( V. acerifoliuvi); the former has a sin- 
gle-toothed leaf to a leaf stem, while the leaf of the 
latter is three-lobed similar to that of the maple. 

The Button-bush {Cephalanthns occidentalism, a 
shrub common in low meadows, may be readily re- 
cognized by its white flowers being collected in a 
perfect ball of about an inch in diameter. 

We have of the Mallows family, the Crisp M. 
{Malva crispa), and the Wood Mallows {M. sylves- 
iris). Of Sorrels, thete are Wood Sorrel {Oxalis 
ace), and Violet Wood Sorrel [Oxalis violaca:). 



1 66 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

The Smooth Sumac, so common on our hill-sides 
as to form quite an article of commerce a few years 
ago, is technically known as Rhus glabra. Its 
leaves and branches are smooth, which sufficiently 
distinguish it from the far less common Dwarf Su- 
mac {Rhus copollind), which has downy branches 
and winged leaf stalks. Here, too, we place the 
Poison Joy {Rhus toxicodefidron), a shrub or vine 
with but three irregular leaflets on a leafstalk too 
common along our fences, for it is so poisonous that 
even the effluvium is deleterious to some individu- 
als. The Fragrant Sumac [Rhus aromatica), flowers 
in April, and is so different from the others as not 
to be readily recognized. 

The Red-root or New Jersey Tea {Ccaiiothus 
americanus) is a small bushy shrub about two feet 
high, whose leaves were used for tea by our ances- 
tors of Revolutionary memory. Its flowers are 
white, with white stems in thick oblong clusters at 
the end of the branches. 

Of the Laurel family already spoken of, there re- 
main yet the Red Bay {Qersea caroliiiensis) which 
is hoary when young, with a fine down. It bears a 
few dark-blue berries on a a red stalk. The Sassa- 
fras {Laurus sassafras) grows in rich wood soil. It 
is common, and much prized for its bark and wood. 
The roots are much sought in the spring of the 
year for tea. The Spice-bush {Benzoin odoriferian) 
is found in damp woods. Its scientific name was 
given it from the supposed resemblance of its aroma 
to benzine. 

The Vine family is represented in the Grape ( Vi- 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 167 

tis) of which the Northern Fox Grape ( Vitis labrus- 
ca) is the largest. It is said that this grape improv- 
ed by cultivation gave rise to the Isabella grape. 

The Summer Grape {V. cestivalis) is a small 
grape rarer than the fox-grape in most localities. 
It ripens in October. 

The Frost or Winter Grape, locally known as 
the Chicken Grape ( V. cordifolia) is very plenty 
on most of hill slopes. They are very acerb until 
frosted, after which they ripen and are reckoned 
pleasant. 

Of the forest trees that clothe our hills and form 
the groves in our valleys are the Pine family, of 
which there are a number of varieties, such as 
Yellow {Piniis mitis), Pitch, [P. rigida), Loblolly 
{P. laeda), found in old fields, White, {P. strobiis). 
The Fir of the last named family is represented in 
the Hemlock Spruce {Abies canadensis), also in the 
Norway Spruce [A. excclsa), which is planted for 
ornament, and found to thrive much better than 
our indigenous species. The Arbor Vitae {Thrya oc- 
cidentalis) is much valued for its perennial green 
for cemeteries, where it is most frequently found. 

The Oak family is represented in the White Oak 
{Qucrcu-s alba), in the Chestnut Oak {Q. vionfana), 
in the Black Oak {Q. tinctonim), in the Pin Oak {Q. 
palustris), also in the Che:;tnut [Castanea vesca), 
which stands frequently the sole surviving, the lone 
Indian of the forest trees on the cleared land, in the 
Beech {Fagus ferrugined), in the Wz.zQ\.-xi\x1 {Cory Ins 
americana), in the Water Beech, orlronwood {Car- 
pinus americana), and in the American Hop-Horn-

beam, {Ostrya virginiand). This last representative 
of the Oak family grows in slender trees with very 
hard wood, brownish, finely furrowed bark and is 
locally known as the liop tree. 

The Walnut family has but two representatives 
of the same name, the Butternut {Juglans cinerea), 
and the Black Walnut, {J. nigra). The former 
may be found on the hill-sides, delighting to grow 
among rocks and stones where few other trees of 
equal size can subsist, while the latter, of more 
use for its wood, is found on the fertile soil of the 
valleys. 

This family is further represented in the Shag- 
bark Hickory {Carya alba), in the Small Fruited 
Hickory {C. inicrocarpa), and the Pig-nut or Brown 
Hickory {C. aniara). The Shag-bark Hickory is 
much prized for its fruit and wood, while the last 
variety was, more formerly than now, sought after 
by the makers of splint brooms. 

The Dogwood family, though not of the most 
numerous kind of our forests and groves, is still an 
important member of our flora. 

The Bunchberry Dogwood {Cornus canadensis) 
the Flowering Dogwood {C. florida) and the Red 
Osier {C. stolonifera), may be distinguished from 
all the forest trees, the first by its red berries, said, 
if plentiful, to foretell "a hard winter," the second 
variety by their large showy white flowers which 
tell people " it's time to plant corn," and the last by 
its beautiful branches. This variety propagates its 
species by prostrate or underground suckers. It is 
found on wet banks of streams and in thickets. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 169 

The Dogwood family is further represented in 
the black or sour gum {^Nyssa multifloid), a middle- 
sized tree with branchlets very much like the 
beech ; the wood is close-grained, and very un- 
wedgeable. The leaves turn a bright crimson color 
in autumn which distinguishes the tree from other 
forest trees. 

The Plane Tree family has a single American rep- 
resentative, the Buttonwood or American Sycamore 
{Platanus occideiitalis). The Common Locust 
{Robinia pseiidacacid) is found growing naturally 
in the woods. It is also planted for a shade tree 
along streets and public highways. Its wood is 
invaluable for many purposes. Its white fragrant 
flowers help crown the coming Junes. 

The Maple family is represented by several varie- 
ties, the Striped Maple {Acer pcnnsylvaniciini) is a 
small and slender tree, with light green bark strip- 
ed with dark lines, bearing greenish flowers and 
fruit. It is sometimes called striped dogwood. 

The Mountain Maple {Acer spicatuni), the Red or 
Swamp Maple and Sugar Maple {A. nigrum and 
saccharimivi) grow naturally everywhere. They 
are also cultivated for ornamental and shade trees. 

The White or Silver Maple {Acer dasycarpuni) 
is a fine ornamental tree. 

The False Sycamore and Norway Maple are 
European species. 

The custom of making maple sugar never became 
popular in Perry county. Occasionally small quan- 
tities have been manufactured. 

We next come to the Willow family, most grace-

170 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

ful in the symmetry and waving branches of all 
the tree kind. 

The first variety that claims notice is the Weep- 
ing Willow {Salix babylonia), which is held in great 
esteem for ornamental purposes ; growing on the 
grave of the departed, its drooping branches have 
doubtless given it the name. 

The Shining Willow (5. Incidd) may be found 
along streams. It grows to be a bushy tree of 12 
or 15 feet in height, and is the resort of innumera- 
ble bees during its season of inflorescence. The 
Black Willow (5. nigra) may be found growing 
along creeks and larger streams where the water 
is stagnated or flows very slowly. This species 
attains a height of 15 to 25 feet. 

The Willow family is also represented in the 
several varieties of the Aspen or Poplar. The 
latter name is retained from the fact that these 
trees were anciently used to adorn the public walks. 

The Quaking Asp or American Aspen {Popnlus 
tremuloides) is occasionally found in the woods. 
The tree sometimes attains the height of fifty feet, 
but is more frequently found not to exceed thirty 
feet. The leaf-stalk is long and compressed at the 
sides, which accounts for its constant agitation. 

The Large-toothed Aspen {P. grandidentata) 
attains a greater height, and may be distinguished 
by its smoothish gray bark. 

The White Poplar {P. alba) was originally from 
the Old World, but its capacity to spread by the 
roots has propagated its species with such rapidity 
that it has been claimed as indigenous to America. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. lyi 

The Lombardy Poplar {P. dilatatd) has fallen 
into disfavor with our people as an ornamental tree, 
and the worms have completed its destruction, 
Not one is known to be now growing in the whole 
county. The tall central shaft of its pyramidal 
form is occasionally relieved by a dead gnarled 
branch, which is seen without bark or leaf, bearing 
testimony of its extinct species. It is a European 
.species. 

The Elm family is represented in the Slippery or 
Red Elm {Ulnacca fiiloa^ which is a small or me- 
dium sized tree, frequently found on hill summits. 
It has a rough reddish wood, and a very mucilagi- 
nous inner bark which is valuable as a medicine. 
The American or White Elm {U. Americana) is a 
large well-known ornamental tree with spreading 
branches, and drooping branchlets. This species 
is found growing in moist grounds along streams 
of water. 

The Mulberry is classed with the Nettle family 
which will not serve to increase it in our estimation. 
The Red Mulberry {Moms rubra), a tree of low 
stature, attains to considerable thickness of trunk. 
Its sweetish black berry-like fruit ripens in July. 
The Italian Mulberry {Morns niulticauhis) was in- 
troduced from Europe for feeding silk worms. It 
was sadly remembered by many as the source of 
their great loss. The Paper Mulberry {Bronssoii- 
netla papyri/era) is a native of Japan, and is found 
growing in our county as a shade tree. 

The Olive family is represented in the several 
varieties of the Ash, of which the White Ash 



172 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

{Fraxiniis ajnencana) grows to a large forest tree, 
with gray furrowed bark. Its wood is used in the 
manufacture of many kinds of implements. The 
Black or Water Ash {F. sauibucifolid) and the 
Green Ash {F. viridis) are met with occasionally. 

Of the Ebony family there is but a single repre- 
sentative, the Common Persimmon {Dyospyros vir- 
giniand), which is a small tree with thickish leaves. 
It produces plumb-like fruit, yellow when ripe. 
This fruit is so exceedingly astringent or contract- 
ing in its effect when green that, "to draw your 
mouth up like a green persimmon" is a common 
expression ; but it is sweet and edible after exposure 
to the frost. 

Conscious that we have not enumerated the en- 
tire flora of Perry county, we have intentionally 
omitted the ferns, mosses and lichens, not that we 
deem them too unimportant, but simply from the 
fact that we had not the time to make a sufficiently 
careful investigation and analysis of them, this 
chapter is submitted to the general reader in the 
hope that thereby his attention may be enlisted to 
further investigate the subject. Remember that 
every plant here spoken of can be found within the 
limits of your own county. You will have, read 
of the example of many others in the preceding 
pages of this book ; go forth like them, assured that 
that there is a work that you can do. Here is a 
.whole county of nearly five hundred and fifty square 
miles, the plants of which very little is known. Who 
will possess the largest "herbarium "of our students 
of botany.

CHAPTER III. 



NATURAL HISTORY. 

At present there is not a scientific association in 
the county, therefore the following sketch of a subject, 
containing subjects each of which would be suffi- 
cient for years of individual investigation, must 
prove a mere outline; but as such it is given, in the 
hope that it will induce others to push investiga- 
tions further and supply what is necessarily omitted. 
Class Mammalia. — Although the deer, bear and 
wolf have been found in Perry county within a 
period of less than five years, yet it is evident 
that all but the former, which is found in his native 
wildness among the thick woods of the Coneco- 
cheague Hills, have been driven here by fire or the 
pursuit of hunters. In 1 871, an old bear and cub 
crossed through Pfoutz's Valley, over the Forge 
Hill into Wildcat Valley, where some hunters 
frightened them to return, which they did, and 
were killed in Juniata county. They had been 
driven from Shade Mountain by the fires which 
were burning over them at that season of the year. 
A pack of wolves were said to infest the woody 
parts of Buffalo Mountain in the year 1868. from 



174 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

whence they came forth, in the night time to plun- 
der sheepfolds, and make the night hideous with 
their howls. 

The Wildcat or Canada Lynx is occasionally 
killed in the county. One was so crippled near 
Millerstown a few years ago, by a passing train, 
that it was afterward killed. Mr Joshua North is 
said to have been attacked by one in daylight in 
Wildcat Valley, many years ago, which he killed 
with stones, hence the origin of the name of the 
valley. 

Mr. Magee settled at an early day among the 
hills of Toboyne township. Hearing a screaming 
one dark night near his cabin, he stepped out of 
the door with an ax, and killed a panther that was 
was just ready to pounce upon him. 

Of the Order Carnivora and Family Chieroptcra 
there are the Hoary Bat ( Vcspcrtilio pniinosd) and 
the Brown Bat ( V. carolincnsis). Of the Family 
Insectivora, the Mole {Scalops canadensis) is the 
only representative. Of the Family Carnivora, 
the Raccoon {Procyon lutoj), which has given its 
name to a beautiful valley of Tuscarora township, 
the Mink {Mustela lutrcola), the Weasel {M. vul- 
garis^, the Skunk {Mephitis americana), the Otter 
{Lutra brasiliensis) is occasionally caught in the 
Juniata, the Red Fox {Cards fnlv its), the Gray Fox 
\C. cinero-argentatns), and the Wildcat {Felis cana- 
densis) are the representatives. 

The Opossum {Didelphis virginiana) is the sole 
representative of the Marsiipialia Family. 

Order Rodentia, Family Clavicidata. — The

Musk Rat {Fiber zebethiciis), Meadow Mouse {Mus 
miiscuh{s)\ Field Mouse {^M. agmrius), Common 
Mouse {M. musculus), Ground Hog or Woodcliuck 
{Arctomys monax). Fox Squirrel {Sciunis nibrican- 
datus), Gr2i.y S)C\mrre\{S. carolinensis),'R.Qd Squirrel, 
locally known as Pine Squirrel {Pteroinys volucella.) 

Family Inclaviciilata. — The common Hare, which 
is known everywhere as the Rabbit, authority to 
the contrary notwithstanding {Lepits aniericanus), 
is very abundant. 

We next come to an enumeration of the birds 
that are found in the county, of which, for want of 
proper data, we cannot give a complete list. 

The name of this science is Ornithology. 

Order I. Raptores — Family Vulturidce — the 

VULTURES. 

These birds feed on offall and carrion. The 
Turkey Vulture or Turkey '^\izz2x6i{^Cathartes aura) 
is the only one of the four species known in North 
America that frequents the county. 

Family Falconidcz — the falcons. 

This family are predatory in their habits. They 
capture their prey, which is small quadrupeds, 
birds, fish and reptiles. There are forty-one species 
in North America, of which Perry county has the 
Sparrow Hawk {Falco hypotriorchis), which feeds 
on small birds, mice and reptiles, the Sharp-shin- 
ned Hawk {Accipiter fuscus), the Goshawk {Astur 
atricapillus). 

The American Golden, Washington or Gray 
Eagle {Aqidla canadensis)^ the imperial bird of 



176 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

America, is occasionally met with in the county, 
though he is becoming rare everywhere. He never 
feeds upon the fruits of other birds' toil, but "relies 
upon his own power and energy to strike down for 
himself the quarry, and devours it while the flesh 
still palpitates." The White-Headed, or Bald Ea- 
gle {HelicetHS lencocepJiahis) is found near fish bas- 
kets, where, less dainty than his gray namesake, he 
lives on whatever will satiate his voracious appe- 
tite. The Fish Hawk or Osprey {Pandion caroli- 
nensis), feeds upon fish, and is found along our 
creeks and rivers. « 

Family Strigidce — the owls. 
This family like the former one is predatory in 
its habits and feeds upon quadrupeds, birds and 
reptiles. There are seventeen known species in 
North America, of which Perry county has the 
common or Barn Owl {Strix fiamuiea), the Great 
Horned Owl {Bubo virginiaims) which feeds on 
poultry and game of all kinds. It is very destruc- 
tive. The Screech Owl {Scops asio) is common ; 
feeds upon mice, small birds and insects. 
Order H. — Scansores (climbers). Family Ficidadcs 

THE WOODPECKERS. 

This family is here represented in the Hairy 
Woodpecker {Picus vilosjis), which is common sum- 
mer and winter; the Yellow-bellied Woodpecker 
{Phirapicus varius), the Red-headed Woodpecker 
[Miianerpcs erylliroccphalus), which breeds in the 
county and was formerly believed to pull up corn, 
and the Flicker {Colaptcs auratus). 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 1 77 

Order III. — Incessores. Family TmchilidadcB — 

THE HUMMING-BIRDS. 

These birds feed upon nectar and minute insects. 
There are seven known species in North America 
of which the common Humming-bird {Tmchilus 
colubris) is the only one of which we have positive 
knowledge. 

Family Cypscdidce — the swifts. 

This family feeds upon insects captured on the 
wing. There are four known species in North 
America, of which the Chimney Swallows {Ch(2turiis 
pelasgia) are very abundant and owing to their 
protection seem to be increasing every year. 
Family CapriuvilgidcB — the goatsuckers. 

There are two species of this family in the county, 
and but four in North America. They feed on 
winged insects. The Whippoorwill {Antrostomus 
vocifems) is a nocturnal bird named from its repea- 
ted night-song, and the Night Hawk {Chordeiles 
popetne) by many supposed to be identical, are the 
only representatives. 

Family Alccnidcs — 'THE kingfishers. 

Tiiis family has four members in North America 
and one in the county, the Belted Kingfisher {Ceryle 
alcyon) is found along the Juniata and tributaries, 
where it breeds. 

Family ColopteridtB — fly catchers. 

There are twenty-eight species known in North, 
America of which the King Bird ( Tyrannus carolin- 
ensis), is very common; the Pewee Fly Catcher {Say- 



I 78 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

ornis fusciis) is one of our first birds of spring, and 
remains until late in the autumn. 

Family TiirdidcB — the thrushes. 
Number of species in North America, seventeen, 
of which the Wood Thrush {Tunius mustelinus). 
Common Robin, {Plancsticus viigmtorins), seem- 
ingly on the increase in numbers within a few years, 
Blue-bird {Sialia sialis), the first migratory bird to 
appear in the Spring ; Ruby Crown Wren {Regulus 
calendula), and Golden Crested Wren {R. satrapd), 
are all known in the county. 

Family Sikncolidice — the warblers. 

This family feed upon insects, and number sixty 
species, of which the Blue \\[ 3.rh\Qr {Deiidroicavirens) 
migratory ; Yellow Warbler or Summer Yellow 
Bird {D. csstivd), is common ; Chestnut-sided War- 
bler {D. pennsylvaiiica), Black and Yellow Warbler 
{D. maculosa), migratory and frequent spring and 
autumn. Red Start {Sitophaga ruticilla), Summer 
Red V>\xA {Tanagra (^^-feVc?), Water Thrush (^^wr/zj 
noveboracensis), is frequent during the bird-summer 
the Blue Yellow-backed ^■d.xhX&x {Panda americ and) 
and the Tit Lark [Anthus ludoviciaua), which is seen 
in the autumn and winter. These birds are nearly 
all common, and breed in the county 

Family Hirmidinida; — the swallows. 

The birds of this family feed exclusively upon 
insects, which are captured on the wing. The num- 
ber of species known in North America is eight, of 
which the county has the Barn Swallow {Hinaido 
horreorion), the Cliff Swallow (//. hmifrons), the 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. I 79 

White-bellied Swallow (H. bicolor), and the Purple 
Martin [Progne purpura:) are quite domestic where- 
ever accommodations are provided for them. They 
breed in boxes provided for them at Newport R. R. 
station, and seem as well contented as if they were 
in the wildest mountain cliff. 

Family Boinbycil/idte — the cedar birds. 
This family has but two known species in North 
America of which the Cedar Bird [A)Jipelis ce- 
drorum) is commonly met with in the county. 

Family Liotrichid^. 
has twenty-two known species of which the Mock- 
ing Bird {Miimis polyglottus), Red-winged Black- 
bird {^Agelains pluvnicens), Meadow Lark {Sturnella 
magna). Orchard Oriole [Icterus spurius), Baltimore 
Oriole, or Hanging Bird (/. baltimore), Rusty Black- 
bird {Scolecophagus), and the Crow Blackbird {Qiiis- 
colis versicolo}'), which flock together in hundreds 
near the season of migration, belong to Perry 
county. 

Family Coj'vidce — the crows. 
The number of known species is twenty-two in 
North America, of which there are four in the 
county. 

The American Raven [Corims carnivores) is said 
to exist as a single household among the Pisgah 
Hills of Carroll township. The Crows {Corv^is amcri- 
canus) are plenty, but are never seen in companies 
as in Lancaster county, except near the season of 
migration of other birds, when they are said to 
hold "camp-meetings," probably to get chestnuts,

of which they are very fond. The Fish Crow 
[D. ossifragits) is common along the rivers. The Jay 
Bird lyCyaunnts cristatus) is a resident of the 
county. 

Order IV. — Rasores — Family Columbidcs — 

THE PIGEONS. 

This family has eleven known representatives in 
North America, of which but two are certainly 
known to ever have been found in the county. 
The Wild Pigeon {Ectopistes niigrat ra) is a visitant 
spring and autumn. The Turtle Dove [Zcnaidin-a 
carolinensis) is frequent, and breeds in the county. 
Family Thasianidce — the turkeys. 

The Wild Turkey [Melcagris amcricana) is still 
found in large flocks on the Forge, Tuscarora and 
Conecocheague hills. They breed in the county. 
Family Petraonida: — the grouse. 

The Grouse family has twelve species in North 
America, and one in the county. The Ruffed 
Grouse {Boiiasa umbclliis) is known in many locali- 
ties as the Pheasant. It is a very shy bird, and in 
consequence the number is not much diminished 
by the shooting of amateur sportsmen. 

Family Pcrdiciace — the partridges. 

There are seven known species in North America, 
of which Perry county has a single representative, 
the Partridge or "Bob White" {Ortyx virgianus). 
Order V. — Grallatores — Family ArdeidcB. 

There are thirteen species known in North 
America of this family, of whicli the Great Blue 



HISTORY OK PERRY COUNTY. iSl 

Heron [Ardea hcrodias) is found along the Susque- 
hanna, and occasionally seen near Millerstown 
dam, in the Juniata, and the Fly-up-the-creek [Bu- 
torides zdrescens), are the only ones that we could 
learn certainly ever visited the county. 

Family CharodndcB — the plovers. 

This family has eight species in North America, 
and one in the county, the Kill-deer Plover {^gia- 
litis vocifenis), which is frequently heard repeating

1 82 HISTORY OF PERKY COUNTY. 
Rcptilia RE PT 1 LES . 

All the reptiles of the county may be included 
under two families. 

Order T. —Chelonia —turtles. 

The Land Tortoise or Box Turtle [Testudo clau- 
sd) is frequently found ; the Large River Terrapin 
{PtycJieniys) is esteemed next in excellence to the 
Snapping Turtle {Chelydra serpentina) which is 
found in all our streams. 

Order Sauria — lizards. 

Fence Lizards {Tropidolepiis iindulatus) and the 
Five-striped Lizard [Scicus fasciatus) are the 
only known species within our borders. 

Order Ophidea — serpents — Family RotalidcB. 
The Rattle-snake (0'<?/(?^//^ J' /twr/V/z/.y); venomous 
and unfrequently met with on mountain ridges. 
The Copperhead {Triconocephalus contortrix) is 
venemous, and seems to have been more than 
usually plenty this summer, 1872. 

Family ColiimberidcE. 

Black-snake — the Racer {Bascaiwii c oris trie tor) not 
venomous. The Common Black-snake [Scotophis 
allighaniensis) is neither so slender nor so fleet as 
the Racer. It frequently gets to be of great size. 

Two species of Water-snakes {Nerodia sipedon) 
and (A^. fasciata) are harmless. 

The Common and Swift Garter-snake {Entainia 
drtalis) and [E. saurctia^ are found near marshes 
where tadpoles live, upon which they feed. 



HISTORY Of PERRY COUNTY. 1 83 

The Common House-snake {Ophibolus eximetis) 
is commonly known as the " Adder." 

The Blowing Viper {Heterodon platyrhines)^ though 
it makes a great show of fight, unlike the true vi- 
per, which is a foreign species, is said to be entirely- 
harmless. 

The Ground or Worm-snake {Celuta amcena) is 
rarely met with. 

Order Batrachia — frogs and salamanders. 
Family Ranidcs. 

The Common Frog {Rana pipens) is distinguished 
from the others of his species by the common name 
" Bull-frog" and by dermal folds along the dorsal 
line. The Tree-frog {Hyla vtrsicoloi) is well known 
in the country as the herald of a storm. The Com- 
mon Toad {Bufo americanus) useful as a destroyer of 
insects in gardens. 

The Ichthyology is represented by the Sturgeon, 
Trout, Shad, Catfish [Chastodon), Eels [Apoda), 
Salmon, Pike, Perch and Suckers.

26o HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Banks of Deposit. — '"Perry County, Sponsler, 
Junkin & Co.," was organized on the 19th of Sep- 
tember, 1866, by electing William A. Sponsler, 
President, and William Willis, Cashier. " New- 
port" was organized on the 12th of December, 
1866, with Perry Kremer, President, Isaac Wright, 
Cashier, and Charles A. Wright, Teller, and re-or- 
ganized, March 23, 1867, with John Wright as 
President, and Isaac Wright, Cashier. A new 
article of confederation caused a re-organization, 
Jan. 2, 1872, when Thomas H. Milligan was elected 
President, Isaac Wright, Cashier, and Joseph M. 
Wright, Teller. " Liverpool Bank" was organized 
in July, 1 871, with M. B. Holman, President, and

ship. Perry county, Pennsylvania, and was educated 
at Markelville Academy. He read law in the office 
of B. MTntire, Esq., Bloomfield. After being ad- 
mitted to the Bar he removed to Ohio, from which 
place he went into the army as a captain of volun- 
teers. After his term of enlistment expired he re- 
turned home, and soon afterward removed to Mis- 
souri, where he is now (Aug. i, 1872) serving as a 
president judge. 

Buck:v]icat in 1826. — Solomon Bower, of To- 
boyne township, raised a stalk which had 3,012 
sound grains on it. 

Brady, Rev. Joseph, for many years a zealous 
minister of the gospel for several Presbyterian 
churches in the eastern part of the county, died on 
Tuesday evening, April 24th, 1821.

Bloomsfield Times, published every Tuesday 
morning by Frank Mortimer & Co., is a five-col- 
umn, 12x19, eight-paged weekly. It was first is- 
sued in January, 1868. Subscription price is ;^ 1. 25 
per year in advance. The Times is the only paper 
in the county published on a steam-power press. 

Bcrkstrcsscr, Hciiiy, member of the House from 
Lawrence Co.,0., was born at Liverpool, Perry Co., 
Pennsylvania, January 19, 183 1, and grew to man- 
hood near New Bloomfield. He removed to Ohio 
in the spring of 1853, settling in Richland county, 
but at the expiration of two years he removed to 
Newark, Licking county. He subsequently joined 
the Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal 
Church, and was appointed to Patriot circuit, Octo- 
ber I, i860. 

On the breaking out of the rebellion he entered 
the Union army, and was commissioned a ist lieu- 
tenant in the i8th Ohio volunteers, October, 1861. 
He returned to the work of the ministry in the fall 
of 1862. 

He was elected to the General Assembly of 
Ohio in the fall of 1871, and served as chairman 
of the Committee on Temperance. 

Beaver, Gen. James A., at present a practitioner 
at the Center county bar, Bellefonte, Pa., was born 
in Millerstown, Perry county. He served his 
country as colonel of 148th regiment, infantry, 
from September 8th, 1862, till December 22, 1864, 
when he was honorably discharged on account of 
a wound which resulted in the loss of a leg. He 
was appointed brevet brigadier general. 



262 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

Clark's Fcny was called by the Indians Queen- 
askawakee. This ferry was once a great fording 
place. A little above it, at the White Rock, on the 
river side, John Harris had, in 1733, a house which 
was complained of by the Indians. — IVa^sou's An- 
tials. 

Cochran^ Re'v^ Wni. /*., D. D., was born in Green- 
wood township. Perry county, in 1803. He 
graduated at Princeton College in his twenty- 
second year. In 1825 he went to Missouri as a 
Home Missionary. He finally became settled as 
the owner of a plantation and pastor of a Presbyte- 
rian church in Marion county, Missouri, where he 
remained until the breaking out of the rebellion, 
when he received a call from the Presbyterian 
churches of Millerstown, Newport and Ickesburg 
(Buffalo church), which he accepted, and removed 
his family to Millerstown. He continued to dis- 
charge the duties of pastor over these congrega- 
tions until the spring of 1868, when he resigned 
and returned to his old home in Missouri. 

Du)uan's Island. — The Swedish family of Huling 
came originally from Marcus Hook, and settled the 
fine island now called Duncan's. In the year 1755, 
Mrs. Huling, with her two children, all on one 
horse, forded the river when it was unusually high, 
and made their escape from the Indians to Fort 
Hunter, afterward known as McAllister's Place. 
A Mrs. Berryhill got safe to the same place, but 
her husband was killed and scalped. At the angle 
of the canal, near the large bridge, says James F. 
Watson, I saw the mound covered with trees from 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 263 

which hundreds of cart-loads of Indian bones were 
taken and used, with the intermixed earth, as filHng 
material for one of the bastions of the dam. There 
were also among them many beads and trinkets, 
which were piled up as so much clay or stones to 
form an embankment. 

Duncannon Iron Works, now one of the most 
extensive iron manufactories in central Pennsylva- 
nia, were started at Petersburg, Perry county, 
about 1830. 

The first of these works was a small charcoal 
forge, erected by Duncan and Morgan, who failed 
after a few years, when the property was bought 
by Wm. L. Wister and C. W. Morgan, who built 
and put in operation the rolling mills, and soon after 
the nail factory — all of which were run by water- 
power until 1853, when steam-power was added to 
the finishing mills and continued to be used in them 
alone until i860, when a flood washed out the dam. 
At this time steam-power was added to the other 
mills, and since then has been used throughout the 
works. 

In 1853, the anthracite furnace was erected, 
with an average capacity of 7,000 tons of pig-iron 
per annum. 

The old Montibello charcoal furnace was ope- 
rated by the same firm until 1848, when it was 
blown out because it Avould no longer pay. 

Fisher, Morgan & Co. sold their interest to the 
Duncannon Iron Company in 1859. 

This company has been the successful operators 
of these works since that time. These works have 



264 HISTORY OK PERRY COUNTV. 

grown by improvement and addition until there 
are 16 puddling and 6 heating furnaces and 54 
nail machines ; they use eight engines with a total 
power of 700 horses, employ 350 hands, and have 
upward of 80 tenant houses, besides a large store, 
offices and warerooms. 

FHckinger, H. C, a graduate of Eastman College, 
Poughkeepsie, N. Y., and a very justly celebrated 
penman, is a native .of Saville township, Perry 
county. 

First Locoviotivc. — The first locomotive that ever 
crossed the Upper Mississippi is in this city, in the 
possession of Mr. D. X. Junkin. It was built in 
the year 1844, by the Hon. B. F. Junkin, of Perry 
county, Pennsylvania, while attending Lafa}'ette 
College, at Easton, Pa., after seeing the first loco- 
motive that ever run on the middle division of the 
Penns3-lvania Central railroad. It was brought by 
his father. Judge Junkin, to this county, in the year 
1854, and has all the requisites for drawing cars. 
It can be seen at the residence of Mr. D. X. Junkin 
in this city. — Muscatine [Iowa) Courier. 

Gantt, Hon. Daniel, a native of Perry county 
was for many years a citizen of Rloomfield and a 
practitioner at that bar. While in Perry county, 
Mr. Gantt was identified with the most advanced 
educational movements of the times, ever ready to 
put his shoulder to the wheel and give his push. 

Mr. Gantt left Perry county previous to the year 
i860, and has been a resident of several States 
since, and finally, we learn from an Omaha paper

of Nov. 22, 1872, has been elected to the bench of 
the Supreme Court of the State of Nebraska. 

Greek Cross. — When the canal was making near 
Newport the laborers dug up a stone shaped like a 
Greek cross, which,' when thoroughly cleansed, the 
transverse was seen to contain hieroglyphics plainly 
marked with a sharp-pointed instnnnent. This 
cross was sent to Philadelphia for the opinion of 
the members of the Historical Society, but never 
reaching its destination, is supposed to have been 
lost on the way. 

Gibsons Rock. — About twenty rods from the old 
mansion house of the Gibsons was the precipitous 
wall of stratified conglomerate sandstone, known as 
Gibson's Rock. Its abrupt termination looked 
north toward a ravin.;. It towered about one hun- 
dred and ten feet above the waters of Sherman's 
creek, and seems to have once been a part of 
Pisgah Hills on the opposite side of the creek, but 
whether the spur from Dick's Hills which joined 
these parallel chains v/e could hardly safely 
determine. If it joined in this manner, then 
there were two coves of peculiar formations, 
such the echoes of which no human ear ever 
heard. 

Gibson, Hon. JoJin Banister, Chief Justice Supreme 
Court of Pennsylvania, was appointed to the Su- 
preme Court, May 9th, 1853, thirty-five years ago. 
On the death of Chief Justice Tilghman,he became 
his successor, and presided over its deliberations 
more than twenty years, with honor to himself and 
to the country. So distinguished were his ability, 
12 



266 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

learning and impartiality, that, after the adoption 
of the amended Constitution, in 1838, in times of 
the highest and bitterest party excitement, Gover- 
nor Ritner, forgetting his personal and party feel- 
ings, and looking only to the qualifications neces- 
sary for that high office, reappointed him Chief 
Justice of this Commonwealth; an act honorable 
to both. 

Judge Gibson lived to an advanced age ; his 
knowledge increasing with increasing years, while 
his great intellect remained unimpaired. (An ex- 
tract from the remarks of Thaddeus Stevens.) 

We cannot forbear giving in full the eulogium 
of Chief Justice Black upon the occasion that 
called forth the foregoing from Hon. Thaddeus 
Stevens. We commend it as a gem worthy to be 
read and re-read by every student and admirer of 
literature : 

" It is unnecessary to say that every surviving 
member of the Court is deeply grieved by the death 
of Chief Justice Gibson. In the course of nature 
it was not to be expected that he could live much 
longer, for he had attained the ripe age of seventy- 
six. But the blow, though not a sudden, was, 
nevertheless, a severe one. 

" The intimate relations, personal and official, 
which we all bore to him, would have been suffici- 
ent to account for some emotion, even if he had 
been an ordinary man. But he was the Nestor of 
the bench, whose wisdom inspired the public mind 
with confidence in our decisions. By this bereave- 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 267 

ment the Court has lost what no time can repair; 
for we shall never look upon his like again. 

"We regarded him more as a father than a 
brother. None of us ever saw a Supreme Court 
until he was in it; and to some of us his character 
as a great judge was familiar even in childhood. 
The earliest knowledge of the law we had was de- 
ri\'ed in part from his luminous expositions of it. 
He was a Judge of the Common Pleas before the 
youngest of us was born, and was a member of this 
Court long before the oldest was admitted to the bar. 
He sat here with twenty-six different associates, 
of whom eighteen preceded him to the grave. For 
nearly a quarter of a century he was Chief Justice, 
and when he was nominally superseded by another, 
as the head of the court, his great learning, venera- 
ble character, and overshadowing reputation, still 
made him the only Chief whom the hearts of the 
people would know. During the long period of 
his judicial labors he discussed and decided innu- 
merable questions. His opinions are found in no 
less than seventy volumes of the regular reports 
from 2 Sergeant and Rawle to 7 Harris. 

"At the time of his death he had been longer in 
office than any contemporary judge in the world; 
and in some points of character he had not his 
equal on the earth. Such vigor, clearness and pre- 
cision of thought were never before united with 
the same felicity of diction. Brougham has 
sketched Lord Stowell justly enough as the great- 
est judicial writer that England could boast of, for 
force and beauty of style. He selects a sentence 



268 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

and calls on the reader to admire the remarkable 
elegance of its structure. I believe that Judge Gib- 
son never wrote an opinion in his life from which a 
passage might not be taken, stronger, as well as 
more graceful in its turn of expression, than this 
which is selected with so much care, by a most 
zealous friend, from all of Lord Stowell's. His 
written language was a transcript of his mind. It 
gave the world the very form and pressure of his 
thoughts. It was accurate, because he knew the 
exact boundaries of the principles he discussed. 
His mental vision took, in the whole outline and 
all the details of the case, and with a bold and 
steady hand he painted what he saw. He made 
others understand him, because he understood 
himself 

' Cui lecta potenter erit res, 
Nee fecundiit deseret hunc, neclucidus ordo,' 

" His style was rich, but he never turned out 'of 
his way for figures of speech. He never sacrificed 
sense to sound, or preferred ornament to substance. 
If he reasoned much by comparison, it was not to 
make his composition brilliant, but clear. He 
spoke in metaphors often ; not because they were 
sought, but because they came to his mind unbid- 
den. The same vein of happy illustration ran 
through his conversation and his private letters. 
I was most of all struck with it in a careless 
memorandum intended, when it was written, for no 
eye but his own. He never thought of display, 
and seemed totally unconscious that he had the 
power to make any. His words were always 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 269 

precisely adapted to the subject. He said neither 
more nor less than just the thing he ought. He 
had one thought of a great poet — that of ex- 
pressing a thought in language which could never 
afterward be-paraphrased. When a legal principle 
passed through his hands he sent it forth clothed 
in a dress which fitted it so exactly that nobody 
ever presumed to give it any other. Almost uni- 
versally the syllabus of his opinion is a sentence 
from itself; and the most heedless student, in look- 
ing over Wharton's Digest, can select the cases in 
which Gibson delivered the judgment, as readily 
as he would pick out gold coins from among cop- 
pers. For this reason it is that he was the least 
voluminous writer of the court; the citations from 
him at the bar are more numerous than from all 
the rest put together. Yet the men who shared 
with him the labors and responsibilities of this tri- 
bunal (of course I am not referring to any who are 
now here) stood among the foremost in the country 
for learning and ability. To be their equal was an 
honor which few could attain ; to excel them was 
a most pre-eminent distinction. 

"The dignity, richness and purity of his written 
opinions was by no means his highest title to admi- 
ration. The movements of his mind were as strong 
as they were graceful. His periods not only pleased 
the ear, but sunk into the mind. He never wearied 
the reader, but he always exhausted the subject. 
An opinion of his was an unbroken chain of logic 
from beginning to end. His argumentation was 
always characterized by great power, and some- 



zyo HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

times it rose into irresistible energy, dashing oppo- 
sition to pieces with force Hke that of a battering- 
ram. 

" He never missed the point evenof a cause which 
had been badly argued. He separated the chaff 
from the wheat almost as soon as he got posses- 
sion of it. The most complicated entanglement of 
fact and law would be reduced to harmony under 
his hands. His arrangement was so lucid, that the 
dullest mind could follow him with the intense pleas- 
ure which we all feel in being able to comprehend 
the workings of an intellect so manifestly superior. 
Yet he committed errors. It is wonderful in the 
course of his long service he did not commit more. 
A few were caused by inattention ; a few by want 
of time ; a few by preconceived notions which led 
him astray. When he did throw himself into the 
wron^ side of a cause, he usually made an argu- 
ment which it was much easier to overrule than 
answer. With reference to his erroneous opinions, 
he might have used the words of Virgil, which he 
quoted so happily in Eakin v. Raub (12 Ser. and 
R.) for another purpose: 

' Si Pergama dextra 
Defendi possent, etiam hac defeasa fuissent.' 

"But he was of all men the most devoted and 
earnest lover of truth for its own sake. When sub- 
sequent reflection convinced him that he had been 
wrong, he took the first opportunity to acknowl- 
edge it. He was often the earliest to discover his 
own mistakes, as well as the foremost to correct 
them. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 27 1 

"He was inflexibly honest. The judicial ermine 
was as unspotted when he laid it aside for the 
habiliments of the grave, as it was when he first 
assumed it. I do not mean to award him merely 
that commonplace integrity which it is no honor to 
have, but simply a disgrace to want. He was not 
only incorruptible, but scrupulously, delicately, 
conscientiously free from all willful wrong, either 
in thought, word or deed. 

"Next, after his wonderful intellectual endow- 
ments, the benevolence of his heart was the most 
marked feature of his character. His was a most 
genial spirit; affectionate and kind to his friends, 
and magnanimous to his enemies. Benefits received 
by him were engraved on his memory as on a tab- 
let of brass ; injuries were written in sand. He 
never let the sun go down on his wrath. A little 
dash of bitterness in his nature would, perhaps, 
have given a more consistent tone to his character, 
and greater activity to his mind. He lacked the 
quality which Dr. Johnson admired. He was not 
a good hater. 

"His accomplishments were very extraordinary. 
He was born a musician, and the natural talent was 
highly cultivated. He was a connoisseur in paint- 
ing and sculpture. The whole round of English 
literature was familiar to him. He was at home 
among the ancient classics. He had a perfectly 
clear conception of all the great truths of natural 
science. He had studied medicine carefully in his 
youth and understood it well. His mind absorbed 
all kinds of knowledge with scarcely an effort.

" Judge Gibson was well appreciated by his fellow- 
citizens; not so highly as he deserved, for that 
was scarcely possible. But admiration of his tal- 
ents and respect for his honesty were universal 
sentiments. This was strikingly manifested when 
he was elected in 185 1, notwithstanding his ad- 
vanced age, without partisan connections, with no 
emphatic political standing, and without manners, 
habits or associations calculated to make him 
popular beyond the circles that knew him intimate- 
ly. With all these disadvantages, it is said, he 
narrowly escaped what might have been a danger- 
ous distinction — a nomination on both of the op- 
posing tickets. Abroad he has, for very many 
years, been thought the great glory of his native 
State. Doubtless the whole Commonwealth will 
mourn his death ; we all have good reasons to do 
so. The profession of the law has lost the ablest 
of its teachers, this Court the brightest of its orna- 
ments, and the people a steadfast defender of their 
rights, so far as they were capable of being pro- 
tected by judicial authority. For myself I know 
no form of words to express my deep sense of the 
loss we have suffered. I can most truly say of 
him what was said long ago concerning one of the 
few mortals who were yet greater than he : I did 
love the man, and do honor his memory, on this 
side idolatry, as much as any." 

As a token of respect for the deceased. Court 
adjourned its session. 

John Banister Gibson's birth-place has been given 
in another place, and it yet remains for the public 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 273 

to be informed of his death, which occurred at the 
United States Hotel, at 2 o'clock. May 3, 1853, in 
the 73d year of his age. He was the son of Col. 
George Gibson of the Revolutionary war, who fell 
at St. Clair's defeat in 1791. He graduated at 
Dickinson College in 1800. He then studied law 
under Thomas Duncan, Esq. He was twice sent 
to the Legislature — in 1810 and 181 1 — giving his 
support to Gov. Snyder and President Madison. 
In 18 18 he was elected to the Supreme bench. 

Judge Gibson's remains were taken to Carlisle 
for interment, on the 4th of May, 1853. 

Oil portraits of Judge Gibson and Col. George 
Gibson are still retained in the old " Gibson house" 
in Spring township, Perry county, Pennsylvania. 

Juniata, sp2lled C and Ch-oniata and Juneauta, 
is an Iroquois word, the meaning of which is un- 
known. The Indians esteemed this river their 
best hunting ground for deer, elk and beaver. 

Liverpool Mercury and People' s Advertiser, the 
title of a weekly newspaper owned and edited at 
Liverpool, Perry county, by John Huggins. The 
Mercury was a five-column, 12x16, four-paged 
paper, devoted to politics, literature, local news and 
advertising. It was started July i, 1831, and 
finally became merged into the Perry County Dem- 
ocrat in June, 1826. The subscription price was 
;^2.oo per annum. 

Landisburg Sunday-scliool, in 1821, collected the 
following fines for absences : From the superinten-

Linii, Rev. JoJin, D. D., for more than forty years 
pastor of Center meeting-house, died August 29, 
1830, aged 70 years. 

Lciuis, David, a bold robber who frequented the 
mountains and mountain gaps of Perry county, 
died from wounds which he received in the suc- 
cessful attempt to capture him, in Bellefonte jail, 
1820. He made no confession. 

Mitchell, George, Esq., for many years a justice of 
the peace for Liverpool, died in that place, in his 
39th year, on the 23d of April, 1833. A lengthy 
obituary recited his many virtues. We find the 
following lines in the middle of four other stanzas 
printed in the Liverpool A'lercury of September 13, 
1833: 

With boundless thought thy manly spirit knew 
To cool the fires that seared another's breast ; 

The balm that soothed from reason's fountain drew 
To ease the anguish of the mind distressed. 

Miller toiunship was formed out of parts of Oliver 
and Center townships by act of Legislature in 1852. 

Mills. — There were thirteen flour mills in Perry 
county in 1792. 

Miller, Hon. Stephen, an ex-Governor of Minne- 
sota, was born and raised to manhood in Carroll 
township. 

Mt. Vernon Forge, noixcQd in chapter i of the in- 
troduction as Lewis' Forge, was erected by Gen. 
James Lewis in 1807 or 1808. It was operated in 
connection with Hope Furnace, west of Lewistown, 
Mifflin county, of which Lewis was one of the pro- 
prietors. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 275 

Mr. James Blain, marrying one of Lewis' daugh- 
ters, continued the forge after Lewis quit. 

He sold out to a Mr. M'Gara, who failed, and 
the property came into the possession of Purcell & 
Woods, of whom, in 1815, William P. Elliott (my 
informant) and William Power bought the forge 
and property pertaining. At this time the forge 
was nearly in ruins, having been so long idle. 
Messrs. Elliott and Power spent a large sum of 
money in repairing it. They operated it from the 
time it was got in order until 1817, when they 
failed, and the property reverting to its former own- 
ers, Purcell & Woods, the fires went out never to 
be rekindled. 

This forge had two fires and two large hammers 
which were supplied with charcoal from the Forge 
Hill, and with pig metal from Hope furnace, in 
Mifflin county, and from Juniata furnace, in Center 
township, Perry county. 

The Forge Hill tract of land contained several 
hundred acres west of the Juniata river, in Tusca- 
rora township. 

Millerstoivn Gazette, a five-column, 12x18, four- 
paged weekly, was started at Millerstown by Levi 
Klauser, Jan. i, 1857, and continued until April 22, 

1858, when the press was removed to Newport, and 
the paper took the name of Newport Gazette. At 
the latter place it was continued by Klauser & 
Bowman, from April 29, 1858, until September 20, 

1859. Subscription price was ^1.50 per annum.

missioners. He is now in his 90th year, and is 
able to walk about. He related, when visited in 
July, 1872, the driving of 37 deer into the Juniata, 
below the Rope Ferry, in one season, from Septem- 
ber to January. 

M' Clure, Hon. A. K., was born and raised to man- 
hood near Center, in Madison township. 

Newport School Board passed a resolution to pay 
their teachers regular wages while attending the 
Teachers' Institute, held at that place in December, 
1855. 

Nezvport Standard was started at Newport, Sep- 
tember I, 1841, by Samuel Schrack. It was a five- 
column, 12x18, weekly. The press was removed 
to Bloomfield, and continued from August 22, 1844, 
as Perry County Standard, by J. D. Crilly. 

Nezvport Nezi's, a weekly newspaper, started by 
Hervey Smith and E. T.Williams, January i, 1869. 
It is independent in politics and specially devoted 
to general literature, local news, agriculture and 
advertising. It has been greatly improved by its 
present editor and proprietor, George Shrom, and 
is a seven-column, 15x21, single sheet, mailed to 
subscribers at $1.50 per annum in advance. 

Nails. — In 1821 a pound of nails was sold at 10 
cents cash, or 1 1 cents for produce. 

Oak Grove Furnace, now in ruins, in Spring 
township, was erected by Dr. William Hayes & 
Brother. 

Perry Forester, the title of the oldest newspaper 
published in the county. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 2^^ 

It was started in Landisburg, July I2, 1820, by 
H. W. Peterson and Alexander Magee. It was a 
five-column, 12x17, single sheet weekly, devoted 
to politics, foreign and home news, literature and 
advertising. 

II. W. Peterson was an associate editor of the 
FonsUr from July 12, 1820, until January 13, 182 1. 
He wielded a ready pen and for erudition stood A 
No. I in his profession. After he left Perry, Peter- 
son edited a paper in Lebanon county, which he 
quitted to remove to Gault, Upper Canada, where 
he became probate judge under His Majesty 
George IV. He died at the latter place. 

In the first issue of the Forester we are informed 
that but one mail reached Landisburg weekly. 
The Perry Forester was continued by Alexander 
Magee at Landisburg until April 9, 1829, when 
the first issue was sent from the office on Main 
street, Bloom field. The subscription price of the 
Forester WTis ^1.75 a year in advance. 

Perry County Democrat is the title of the Demo- 
cratic paper continued in the office of the Perry 
Forester at Bloomfield by Major John A. Magee. 
It is devoted to literature, politics, . general and

advertisement of the kind that appeared in a Perry 
county paper — January 15, 1829. 

Pooj'-Jwuse. — Perry County Poor-house is situ- 
ated a half-mile south-east of Loysville, on a farm 
owned by the county. The original buildings were 
of brick, two stories and a half high, and on ac- 
count of the arrangement of the rooms not well 
adapted for the purpose. The new buildings, just 
about completed, are the best and most expensive 
public buildings in the county, costing upward of 
^30,000. 

Porter, jfolin B., Esq., spent several years of his 
life at Liverpool in the capacity of a scrivener ; he 
afterward taught school for a number of terms at 
Millerstown, and finally removed to Juniata county, 
where he was elected county superintendent of 
schools in i860. Mr. Porter served in this capacity 
until 1863, when, soon after his term of office ex- 
pired, he removed with his family to Louise county, 
Iowa, where he had been but a short time until he 
was again placed in the educational lead as county 
superintendent.

Sherman's VaHey^^X. an early 'day, included all 
of Perry county except Pfoutz's Valley. It received 
its name from the creek, which was called Sher- 
man's after an Indian trader who was drowned at 
Gibson's while attempting to cross it with his horse 
and furs. In this valley, says the author of Wat- 
son's Annals, I saw a real " leather stocking" in 
the person of a Mr. Stewart ; twenty-five years ago 
he had killed as many as sixty deer in one season ; 
he goes out in snow-time in preference, and lays 
out all night. It was in this valley that I heard of 
William Penn's iron spur, left on his visit to ths 
Susquehanna, near Columbia, and now in posses- 
sion of Lewis Pennock, in London Grove, Cheste)

county. Many aged persons, still alive in Carlisle^ 
remember very well when all the carriage of goods 
and stores westward from Carlisle was done wholly 
on pack-horses, coming and going in whole com- 
panies ; only as late as twelve years ago there were 
not more than three wagons in all Sherman's Val- 
ley — all the hauling was done on sleds, in summer 
as well as winter. A Mrs. Murphy, who died in 
that valley in 1830, aged nearly one hundred years 
— having lived a long life there among the Indians 
— remembered seeing the first wagon arrive at 
Carlisle, and the indignation it excited among the 
packers, as likely to ruin their trade! Even the wid- 
ening of the roads, when first ordered, cffended 
them ! The pack-horses used to carry bars of iron 
on their back, crooked over and around their 
bodies ; barrels were hung on them, one on each 
side. She remembered that the first Indian track 
(or path) to go westward, was to cross at Simpson's, 
four miles below John Harris'; then across Cono- 
doguinet, at Middlesex; thence up the mountain 
across Crogan's Gap (now Sterret's); thence down 
the mountain and across Sherman's creek at Gib- 
son's ; then by Dick's Gap (the gap between Dick's 
and Quaker hills, through which the Landisburg 
road passes) ; then through Sherman's Valley by 
Concord to the Burnt Cabins ; thento the waters of 
the Alleghany and down the river. 

SJmmaker, J. H., Ph. D., was born near Sandy 
Hill, Madison township. He received his prepara- 
tory education at Academia Academy, Juniata Co., 
Pa., of which he was the efficient principal after he

graduated at Princeton College, until 1868, when 
he assumed charge of Chambersburg Academy, 
his present position. 

Smiley, Rev. Geo. U\, D. D., a son of Mrs. Ru- 
ling's by her marriage to Mr. Smiley, was 
born in Carroll township. He was a clerk in Hoff- 
enstcin's store, Carlisle, when but a boy ; from this 
he went to Indiana, where he became clerk and 
book-keeper in a store, and from the latter place he 
went to Kentucky, where he was converted to re- 
ligion in Rev. Dr. Bascom's church, under whose 
tutorship he studied theology. He is widely 
known as an effective public speaker, and is now 
engaged by the First Presbyterian Church of 
Pottsville, Pa.

Goods, including Straw Bonnets, Hardware, Glass 
and Queensware, Brandy, Spirits and Wine." 

Sypher. — The family of whom J. R. Sypher, 
author of histories of Pennsylvania Reserves, and 
of the States of Pennsylvania and New Jersey, 
"American Popular Speakers " and "Art of Teach- 
ing," and Hon. J. H. Sypher, M. C. from Louisiana, 
lived in Pfoutz's Valley, Greenwood township, 
where they were born. 

Hon. Jay Hale Sypher was born July 22, 1837. 
He received a collegiate education, studied law 
and was admitted to the bar ; he entered the Union 
army as a private and rose through all the grades 
to that of brigadier-general, which he held when 
mustered out of service at the close of the war, 
Nov. 25, 1865. Having located in Louisiana in 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 283 

January, 1866, he was a delegate to the National 
Republican Convention in Chicago which nomi- 
nated Grant and Colfax. He was elected to the 
Fortieth and Forty-first Congresses, and was re- 
elected to the Forty-second Congress as a Republi- 
can by a majority of 5,500 over Walker, Democrat. 

Superstitions. — Among the methods of relieving 
the ills to which suffering humanity is heir, none is 
more universally practiced or more firmly believed 
than the pozv<voiv. It cures the various forms of 
erysipelas, the bite of a snake, burns, rheumatism, 
chills and fevers, and stops the flow of blood by 
the power of words and the scarlet silk thread or a 
panful of coals of fire, applied three times, provided 
the patient is possessed of the scriptural full measure 
of faith in these means. 

A few persons will not plant seeds when the 
moon "points up," believing if they do so the 
plants will grow to tops or go to seed. Shingles 
must not be driven on a roof at this time or their 
edges will turn upward. These persons believe 
Friday to be an "unlucky day," and that the howl- 
ing of a dog or the crowing of a hen portends evil, 
a death, or a reverse of fortune. 

The belief in such notions, strengthened by the 
early training of parents who were believers, is so 
tenacious that nothing but a more liberal education 
can ever change it. 

Teachers' Gun. — Harrisburg, March 20, 1862. —

tendent of Perry county, $26, contributed by

teachers of Perry county toward the purchase of 

the " Teachers' Gun." 

Thomas H. Burrowes. 

Some months previous to this a movement was 
started in the State, by the teachers, to procure a 
gun by contribution, to be presented to the govern- 
ment. This gun was to be christened the " Teach- 
ers' Gun."

Traveling Show. — The first traveling show that 
ever visited Perry county, exhibited in Landisburg, 
September 7th, 1826. 

Tin'keys. — David Snyder, an early resident of 
Jackson township, related that, when a boy, while 
a blacksmith was doing some work for him, he 
went to the fence of a neighboring field with a shot 
gun, when he made a noise which caused the wild 
turkeys feeding in it to raise their heads and run 
together, when he fired and killed five at one shot. 
He is said to have frequently killed two at one 
shot with a rifle. 

The Famners' Bank of ISIillerstoivn was organized 
December 21st, 1872, by electing Perry Kreamer 
President, William Rickabaugh, Cashier, Jacob 
Yohn, Jonathan Weiser, Lewis Gilfilcn, Philip Kep- 
ner, James Patterson and J. E. Singer, Directors. 
The capital stock was fixed at ;^50,ooo. 

White, Thomas J., was born in Perry county, 
Pennsylvania, May 17, 1827. At the age of five 
years he removed with his parents to Ohio, set- 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 285 

tling in Crawford county, where he has resided since 
1832. 

On December i, 1869, he was elected superin- 
tendent of the Crawford County Infirmary, which 
position he held up to the time of his election to a 
seat in the House of Representatives of the Six- 
teenth General Assembly of Ohio. 

He is an earnest worker and careful representa- 
tive of his county, well deserving the place he 
holds. 

Wann Springs. — The tract of land which con- 
tains the celebrated Perry County Warm Springs 
was patented by one Dently, who was its original 
owner. 

It came into possession of James and John Ken- 
nedy next after Dently. They lived in a stone 
house about forty rods west of the springs, on the 
road leading to Landisburg. 

John Hippie, Esq., leased the property of the 
Kennedys for a term of years and erected the first 
building, which was 40x45 feet, with kitchen at- 
tached, opened for the entertainment of the public. 
Previous to this the farm-houses for miles around 
were crowded with persons who came from a dis- 
tance to drink of and bathe in the waters of the 
springs. After the expiration of Mr. Hippie's 
lease, William Updegraffe, who had come by mar- 
riage to be one of the heirs to the property, kept 
open the buildings during the summer for the en- 
tertainment of strangers, and employed his leisure 
time in farming and working in the pottery which 
he had erected. 



286 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

After Updegraffe, the property was sold to Mr. 
H. H. Etter, who erected the houses over the 
springs, remodeled the bath-house built by Mr. 
Hippie, so that all the tubs could be supplied with 
water at the same time, and built a new bath-house. 
He improved the grounds, erected the summer- 
house on the island of about one acre in Sherman's 
creek. He made gravel and tan walks a,bout the 
premises, and built to the main building an east 
wing seventy-five feet long, in which he had a ball- 
room in the basement. He built the house on the 
hill with a bowling-alley and the billiard-rooms in 
it. Mr. Etter is said to have had two hundred 
boarders at the springs at one time, beside transient 
visitors, of whom there were not a few. 

With an eye single to the ornamental, no doubt, 
Mr. Etter had a hydraulic ram placed below the 
first spring, which forced the water to a reservoir 
above the road, whence it was conveyed to the 
park below the road in pipes, and jetted upward 
from the center of a large basin. No other use 
was made of the water of the reservoir, although 
its position and capacity might have been made to 
supply the buildings with water with a small, if 
any, additional expenditure. 

After Etter, the property passed into the hands 
of R. M. Henderson and John Hays, Esqrs., who 
leased it to John Early, who kept it but a 
single season. Mr. Wm. T. Dewalt next leased 
and kept open the buildings for two years. He 
was succeeded by William Vansdalen, who con- 
tinued two years. 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 287 

He removed in the forenoon of April 4th, 1865, 
and in the evening about 1 1 o'clock the buildings 
were discovered to be on fire. Mr. John Louch 
was to occupy the property in a few days after 
Vansdalen left it, but did not come on account of 
the buildings being destroyed. After the fire the 
springs ceased to be a resort, and the property was 
allowed to become impaired by neglect. In 1867, 
Mr. Christian Thudium bought the property, and 
soon afterward sold it to Mr. Abraham Bower, its 
present proprietor. Mr. Bower has begun in earn- 
est to repair, build and fit the property for what it 
seems so well, naturally, designed — a resort for the 
invalid or pleasure-seeker, during the hot weather 
of summer. Indeed we doubt whether a better 
place could be found for those who are in feeble 
health at any season of the year. 

Mr. Bower has erected, under roof and partly 
finished (1872^ a main building, 60x30, with large 
kitchen attached, three stories high, which he de- 
signs opening for the accommodation of visitors 
next summer. His building will have more spa- 
cious and in every way pleasanter appointments 
than the old one, and we are assured other things 
will be in keeping. We like the plan of having 
small cottages for private families, as is :.ontem- 
plated here. 

The Springs. — The water of these spr'ngs con- 
tains " carbonate of iron held in suspension by an 
excess of carbonic acid gas ; it is strongly impreg- 
nated, and a highly salubrious chalybeate water." 
The water of these springs have a wide celebrity 



288 HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 

among those who know them for their medicinal 
properties and heaHng virtues. The temperature, 
as their name indicates, is warm, but not so much 
so as to produce nausea; on the contrary,invigora- 
tion and health. 

No. I, the warmest and largest spring, dis- 
charges ninety-three gallons per minute. The 
water rises from a sandstone rocky bottom of thirty- 
six square feet, and is confined within these limits 
by a stone wall. The appearance of the water is 
clear, with an occasional bubble, or if disturbed, 
bubbles, rising to the surface. 

No. 2 probably discharges thirty-six gallons per 
minute, and is situated two hundred feet from No. 
I, at the root of a large poplar tree. 

No. 3 discharges about forty-five gallons of water 
per minute, and has a surface of seventy-two 
square feet. The water of this spring bubbles 
from the bottom as in No. i, and has the appear- 
ance of being more highly impregnated with iron. 

No. 4 is an uncovered spring which rises at the 
root of an ash, and has a capacity of fifty gallons 
per minute. There are two other springs, of an 
average capacity of fifty gallons per minute. These 
springs all issue from the earth in a due south-west 
and north-east line, along the foot of Quaker Hill, 
which here runs parallel with Sherman's creek, 
into which their waters are discharged. 

The location of the springs could not be more 
propitious for rest and recuperation from the cares 
of business. With Mount Pisgah in front, Quaker 
Hill, from which they issue, in the rear, and 



HISTORY OF PERRY COUNTY. 289. 

Sherman's creek rolling between, which a mile and 
a half below breaks over the rocks into gentle 
rapids, and the near proximity of the celebrated 
Falling (or Dropping) Springs, what more romantic 
spot could be chosen ? 

Vancamp. — The Vancamps came originally 
from Holland, from whence they immigrated to 
Esopus, (now Kingston), New York, which they 
left hastily in terror of an Indian massacre, bringing 
away all their household effects on the backs of two 
horses. 

They journeyed, driving before them their cows 
and hogs, until they came to Bald Eagle Valley, 
Clinton county, Pennsylvania, where they so- 
journed, probably with or near their friends or 
country folks, until after the French and Indian 
war, when they left the Bald Eagle and came to 
Perry county and settled on and above the site of 
the present railroad station, at Bailey's, in 1763, 
where their descendants of the third and fourth 
generation still reside.

Perry county but has a stream of running water 
on it. The streams are Sherman's creek, which 
rises in Round Top Mountain, in Franklin county, 
and empties into the Susquehanna below Duncan-

Mahonoy and Dick's hills, in Carroll township, 
and empties into the Susquehanna at Duncannon ; 
Little Buffalo creek, which rises in Saville town-
